Which of the following statements about financial statements is CORRECT?

A picture of the firm's financial position at a point in time is typically called a balance sheet. Cash budget is not a standard financial statement, and only the balance sheet shows a point in time. The statement of cash flows shows what a company paid out in the past in cash, but interest is rarely broken out.

Last year Bartlett & Croys' operations provided a negative cash flow, yet the cash shown on its balance sheet increased. Which of the following statements could explain the increase in cash, assuming the company's financial statements were prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)?

Bartlett & Croy sold some of its fixed assets. Selling fixed assets would increase cash. Repurchasing stock, increasing capital expenditures, and retiring debt would decrease cash, and depreciation would have no effect.

The following items are often found on a balance sheet. Which one is NOT normally considered a current asset?

Bonds Current assets are items that can be turned into cash within a year. Bonds are long-term assets.

Which of the following statements about the statement of cash flows is CORRECT?

Dividends do not show up in the statement of cash flows because dividends are considered to be a financing activity, not an operating activity. Depreciation is subtracted from net income in the statement of cash flows. A decrease in accounts receivable means that more cash came in, so it would increase cash. The opposite is true for accounts payable and inventories. Dividends do show up on the statement of cash flows, and depreciation is added back.

Which of the following factors could explain why Eagle Enterprises' net cash provided from operations increased over last year, yet cash as reported on the balance sheet decreased?

Regarding financial statements, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

The primary reason the annual report is important in finance is that it is used by investors when they form expectations about the firm's future earnings and dividends, and the riskiness of those cash flows. The annual report is a public document, and investors are among the most important users of it. Reported values may differ from market values. Cash budget is not a financial statement, and annual reports have always been written documents with narrative sections.

Accounting profits are less important in finance than cash flows. Free cash flow (FCF) is calculated as after-tax operating income plus depreciation less the sum of capital expenditures and changes in net operating working capital.

True Free cash flow is after-tax operating income plus depreciation less the sum of capital expenditures and changes in net operating working capital.

One way to think about free cash flow is that if the amount were withdrawn, it would harm the firm's ability to operate and to produce future cash flows.

True Free cash flow is money that can be invested for future growth.

Given that the retained earnings account on the balance sheet is not a cash account—rather, it represents part of the stockholders' claims against the firm's existing assets—we could say that retained earnings are stockholders' reinvested earnings.

The balance sheet, the income statement, the cash flow statement, and the statement of stockholders' equity are the four essential financial statements found in an annual report.

Consider the following balance sheet for Big Dog Games, Inc. Because Big Dog has $800,000 of retained earnings, we know that the company would be able to pay cash to buy an asset with a cost of $200,000.
