Question

Excerpts from Neuwirth Corporation's comparative balance sheet appear below: Ending Balance Beginning Balance Cash and cash equivalents $ 37,000 $ 27,000 Accounts receivable $ 24,000 $ 28,000 Inventory $ 65,000 $ 68,000 Which of the following is the correct treatment within the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method?

Answer 1

Answer:

The change in Accounts Receivable is added to net income; The change in Inventory is added to net income.

Explanation:

Account receivable:

= Ending balance - Beginning balance

= 24,000 - 28,000

= -4,000

Decrease in account receivable

Inventory:

= Ending balance - Beginning balance

= 65,000 - 68,000

= -3,000

Decrease in inventory

Since the Current assets have decreased therefore they should be added to net income.

The change in Accounts Receivable is added to net income; The change in Inventory is added to net income.
