Statement of Cash Flows
The statement of cash flow tracks all the cash coming into and out of an enterprise over a set period
of time, by looking at cash utilized and generated via operating activities, investing activities, and
financing activities (Accounting Hub, n.d.). Under the heading Cash Flows from Operating Activities,
cash paid out to suppliers and employees (salaries and expenses paid) is calculated by finding the
difference between the net cash and the sum of cash received from customers, interest paid, and taxes
paid ($185,000+$5,000+$10,000-$600,000 = $-400,000). Net cash provided by financing activities
(net amount of funding generated to finance the company) is determined by calculating the sum of all
the rows under the Cash Flows fromFinancing Activities heading ($50,000-$45,000+$5,000 =
$10,000). To calculate the net change in cash (amount by which a companys balance increases or
decreases over a period of time), find the sum of net cash provided by operating activities, net cash
used in investing activities, and net cash provided by financing activities ($185,000-$25,000+$10,000
= $170,000).
The cash balance, end of year (total available cash at the end of the year), is determined by adding
the beginning of year balance to the net change in cash ($170,000+$30,000 = $200,000).Pollys Pet
