If a business decides to switch from the indirect method to the direct method for reporting cash flows from operating activities (this is permitted per GAAP), will the change in methods cause the amount of the net cash flow from operating activities to be: (a) smaller, (b) larger, or (c) the same?  Explain.

My question is about purchasing a long-term asset on account. A journal entry is made: credit accounts payable/debit long-term asset. If I generate a cash flow statement, the increase in current liabilities caused by that entry will be a part of the equation above. But that amount is not an operating cash flow, it is an investing cash flow. So my reconciliation to operating activities will be off by that amount. It seems like there's a missing adjustment in the equation, like "Minus assets purchased on account" or something like that. Example: Say my company just started and so far only has $5K contibuted cash in the…
