  • This video demonstrates how to calculate Cash Flow from Operations (aka Operating Cash Flow) using the Indirect Method on the Statement of Cash Flows. The video uses a comprehensive example to show how Cash Flow from Operations is computed and explains how Cash Flow from Operations is different from Cash Flow from Investing and Cash Flow from Financing.

    Thank you so much for your excellent video! I have a quick question about inventory. If we think an increase in inventory comes from cash we used to purchase the inventory, so an increase of inventory is considered as a cash used by the entity, how should we think about an decrease in inventory? My understanding is that when there is an decrease of inventory, it is considered cost of goods sold, and cost of goods sold was subtracted from revenue when calculating net income. But cost of goods sold is not real cash flow out, so cost of goods sold should be added back in arriving at cash basis of net income. Is my understanding correct? cash from for inventory increase or decrease makes me confused for a long time. Your explanation makes me feel comfortable. thank you !

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      A decrease in inventory indicates that a company sold more goods than it purchased (which would increase cash). Decreasing inventory would therefore be a cash inflow. Great question Xuan!

      @emmanuelramoroba6598 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hey Interest payable(Paid) is from investing activities therefore we deduct it(Subtract) from the investing activities,because is something that we pay for,so it reduces cash...hope this is helpful.

      @Officialsearch21 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You would decrease cash by both amount because that was money leaving the door. An addition to that, if the prepaid account decreased from the beginning to the end you would increase that amount in your cash flows from operations because technically that money was already considered in a previous statement of cash flow.

    How would unrealized gains from the sale of PPE be accounted for, if we flip the example and we have a 50 dollar gain, would it be deducted from net income? If that is the case, is the gain still defined as a a non-cash expense , since non cash expenses are transactions recorded on the income statement but for which cash has not actually been PAID.

    Really appreciate the video, might be too detailed a question, but: I know from your prior videos on the balance sheet, accounts receivables closes with a debit balance (increases with a debit), so I was wondering why on the actual SEC filings on the cash flow stmt that IncreaseDecreaseInAccountsReceivable closes with a credit balance, and then we have to play around with the signs to get where we want to be for the cash flow from operations? I'm assuming there's a good reason for it, will continue to look for it.

    • @Glucoselord
      @Glucoselord 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      its because a/p increases from year 1 to year 2. an increase in a/p means that NI is showing more cash being used when no cash has actually been disbursed. So we add back the cash in the event of an increase of a/p and subtract a decrease in a/p.

    Can we say we add back the 50 because is not from operation?

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      $50 was initially subtracted from revenue to get to Net Income on the Income Statement. The reason we are adding it back to Cash Flow from Operations is because we are converting Net Income to a cash basis. Gains and losses are accrual transactions. In this instance you could state that it isn't part of your core operations, but what if you slightly changed the issue and said the loss was due to a write-down of inventory. Inventory is a part of the company's operations, but we would still add the loss back to Net Income because it is a part of accrual accounting.
