Under U.S. GAAP, the statement of cash flows classifies cash expenditures for interest expenseon debt as an operating activity but classifies cash expenditures for dividends to shareholdersas a financing activity. Justify this apparent paradox.
Consistent with U.S GAAP, we classify cash flows as operating, investing, or financing activities under IFRS. However, with regard to interest and dividend inflows and outflows, IFRS a. permits companies to report cash outflows from interest payments as either operating or investing cash flows. b. permits companies to report cash inflows from interest and dividends as either operating or financing cash flows. c. permits companies to report dividends paid as either financing or operating cash flows. d. requires companies to report cash outflows for interest payments and cash inflows from interest and dividends received as operating cash flows.
How does AF classify interest paid, interest received, and dividends received in itsstatement of cash flows? What other alternatives, if any, does the company have forthe classification of these items? How are these items classified under U.S. GAAP?
