I am also taking an accounting course online. These videos are so helpful. I use my textbook for format when handing in assignments, but I use your videos as my course material more often than the textbook.
This video is the best explanation of the direct method of the SCF. I use the T account to help me to understand the logiical but your video is more clear. Thank You
This video is so helpful! I'm learning cash flows now in my course and I didn't understand why some accounts were being subtracted from cash and other accounts were being added. I just didn't get the logic behind it. Thank you.
I am watching this whole playlist, many videos mulitple times. Thank you for making them! However, the ones that scroll all over the place (this one) are really challenging to follow
You. Are. Awesome. I don't have a huge mind for numbers and I had to take Accounting I online in college, and this was my first experience with accounting. You helped me get through this semester, from wanting to drop out to my current A. Thank you so much!
Cash flow statement is great for seeing what happened with cash in the past, but how do we plan and track cash flow before and during a quarter or year? If anyone could please point me in the right direction to one of Tony's videos I'd really appreciate it
Cash received from customer= Sales + decrease in Account Receivables (- increase in A/R) + Increase in Unearned Revenue (- decrease in UR) Cash paid for Suppliers = COGS + increase in Inventory (- decrease in Inventory) + decrease in Account Payable (- increase in A/P)
Hi, I was excited to find your accounting you-tube videos. I am an accounting major and plan on taking the screening exam. Are your practice problems in general similar in style to the screening exam?
Just brilliant. So much better than any textbook. I just wanted to ask you a quick question, please. @14:59 shoulder not it be "so, I'm not including it here because this is cash flow from INVESTING activities so this 9,000 does not belong here" rather than "so, I'm not including it here because this is cash flow from OPERATING activities so this 9,000 does not belong here"?
Good for you, you captured the error. I missed it. The correct statement should be "I am not writing it here because it is a cash flow from investing activities."
But the sale revenue include both immediate cash flow but also sale made on credit, so in direct method sale revenue is just basicallly assume as cash is collected immediately?
Why does a/r decrease cashflow? If an invoice is issued to a customer and Im waiting to get paid that increases a/r but why does that decrease the cashflow? I mean no cash actually left the account by issuing an invoice
By itself, no, but we are considering it with sales. So sales + decrease in AR. We make 100,000 in sales, and AR increases by 10,000. How many dollars of sales did we collect? Well if I collected every dollar I sold, it'd be 100,000, but since AR went up 10,000 - I didn't get that money! So of the 100,000 in sales, I only got 90,000 with 10K still collectible. As AR goes up, the cash we collect from our sales goes down.
Shouldn't an increase in accounts payable be added though? cause you stated that an increase in A/P indicates that we are keeping the cash and not paying those payables, why should we subtract our cash if the A/P is increasing hence keeping more money?
Increase in AP means cash is increasing. So when we calculate "Cash Paid" a decrease in AP indicates more cash has been paid out (ie an increase in AP is good for our cash balance meaning less cash has been paid out!) The key is for that line we are calculating cash paid.
Wouldn't salaries and other expenses be under the same category as the operating expenses? Received from Customers: Sales + - Accounts receivable Received from interest: +- Interest revenue Paid to suppliers: COGS + - Accounts payable + - Inventory Paid for operating expenses: +- Wages (salaries ) + rent expense (prepaid rent) + Other expenses The formula depends on what items you have on the statement.
Question about the operating expenses. I thought the proceeds of the sale of a long term asset (equipment) were investing actives. But, the gain/loss of the sale were part of operating activities. Or do I have that wrong?
Hi Tony, great video, just struggling on one aspect. the last 1 minute example of income tax payable and expenses presumes the firm paid $11k for their income tax? As otherwise, the difference between income tax expense $43k and the remaining income tax payable $10 is $33k that was paid.Why is there an assumption that 11k was paid?
The entire tax bill was 44,000. There is an 11,000 balance per balance sheet. The assumption is that 33,000 was paid. The 10k is what’s left after the payment.
Also do the videos only members have access to help include practice problems inside the video? If so do these problems help prepare those who plan to take the screening exam?
I think there are options - but most companies I'm aware of do this in the operating section - see here: www.investopedia.com/investing/what-is-a-cash-flow-statement/
Please, don't stop making Accounting videos. I have learnt so much from you. Thank You!
Thanks for explanation, Statement of Cash Flows was one of the hardest to understand for me, but you tought it very well

Yes - that definitely works!

You're absolutely right - what a strange slip of the tongue by me - good catch!

thanks for sharing your wonderful knowledge
You are a life saver🤩
Excellent!

Hi Tony, great video, just struggling on one aspect. the last 1 minute example of income tax payable and expenses presumes the firm paid $11k for their income tax? As otherwise, the difference between income tax expense $43k and the remaining income tax payable $10 is $33k that was paid.Why is there an assumption that 11k was paid?
Are you still in need of your answer? I know a method that can help you.
@@sizibaemmanuel3611 please share with me the method that can help
The entire tax bill was 44,000. There is an 11,000 balance per balance sheet. The assumption is that 33,000 was paid. The 10k is what’s left after the payment.
Also do the videos only members have access to help include practice problems inside the video? If so do these problems help prepare those who plan to take the screening exam?
I'm not familiar with the screening exam - the membership is simply more problems like the ones in my videos - (all problems from the workbook).
Thank you very much for the workbook. It is very interesting. How can check my answers? is there any corrections or answer key?
It's just the videos - follow along with the videos and double check your work!
Let us check our answers and work together
