c. adding a gain from the sale of a fixed asset.
All of the following would be included in the operating activities section when preparing the statement of cash flows under the indirect method, except: a. subtracting a decrease in accounts payable. b. adding a loss on of land. THE CORRECT ANSWER c. adding a gain from the sale of a fixed asset. d. adding a decrease in inventories. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Adding a gain from the sale of fixed asset would not be included in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. A gain on the sale of a fixed asset acts like a revenue on the income statement, increasing net income. In addition, it increases the cash proceeds from the sale of the fixed asset, which will appear in the investing activities section. Because a gain is included in both net income and in the investing activities section, it must be subtracted in the operating activities section so that it is not included twice on the statement of cash flows.
b. adding a decrease in accounts payable.
All of the following would be included in the operating activities section when preparing the statement of cash flows under the indirect method, except: a. subtracting a gain from the sale of equipment. THE CORRECT ANSWER b. adding a decrease in accounts payable. c. adding a depletion expense. d. adding an increase in salary payable. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Adding a decrease in accounts payable would not be included in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. A decrease in accounts payable would mean that the business paid cash toward its debt, thereby decreasing cash on the statement of cash flows. A decrease in accounts payable, just as a decrease in any other current liability, is subtracted in the operating activities section as an adjustment to net income.

a. Financing activities
Dividend payments would be included in which section of the statement of cash flows? THE CORRECT ANSWER a. Financing activities b. Investing activities c. Operating activities d. Non-cash investing and financing activities WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Dividend payments would be included in the Financing Activities section of the statement of cash flows. Paying cash dividends reduces cash and Retained Earnings. Retained Earnings is a stockholder's equity account, and all cash-related transactions that affect stockholder's equity accounts are reported in the financing activities section. Therefore, dividend payments would decrease the financing activities section on the statement of cash flows. Operating Activities: changes in current assets and current liabilities Investing Activities: changes in long-term assets Financing Activities: changes in long-term liabilities and stockholders' equity The non-cash investing and financing activities section is specifically reserved for items that affect long-term assets and long-term liabilities or stockholders' equity without a corresponding change in cash.
