Question

Your managers showed you the income statement for your company. The income statement shows a net income of 5.4%, yet your manager says the company will need to borrow money to meet their financial obligations.

How is this possible? Please address the following issues in your discussion this week:

  • How can a company make a profit and still be short of cash?
  • In accrual accounting, we record sales when they occur, not when the cash is collected. How does this affect cash flow?
  • How does the purchase of fixed assets or additional inventory adversely affect cash flow?
