Steps to calculate the operating cash flow:
- The non −cash items like depreciation charged to
Profit and loss statement (and not the accumulated depreciation), provisions forbad debts are first added to the net income earned by the entity which gives the operating profit before it changes in working capital. - The operating profit is them adjusted according to the changes in the working capital that is increase/decrease in current assets and current liabilities of the business. This gives the cash flow from operating activities after the working capital changes.
- Direct taxes actually paid (and not just provided for) are then deducted from the cash flow from operations after working capital changes and this gives the net cash flow from operating activities.
Steps to calculate the investing cash flow:
Investing Cash Flow is one where there is a change in the capital structure of the company. These are usually made in the events of amalgamations, reconstructions, demergers and related events where the whole capital structure of the company is restructured. Hence, purchase of common stock or the purchase of an asset which are all long term investments made with the purpose of reaping long term benefits are termed as investing cash flows.
- The purchase of property, plant, equipment, land or any other tangible fixed asset is deducted from the total cash flows.
- The sale of property, plant, equipment, land or any other tangible fixed asset or investment or an asset held for reaping long term benefits is added to the total cash flows.
Steps to calculate financing cash flow:
Financial cash flows, as the name suggests, relate to the financial inflow and outflow of business. Repayment of debt, payment of interest and dividends are thus classified as financial cash flows.
It mainly relates to the inflow and outflow of the funds of the business and payment to the investors of long term capital in the company.
- The addition to the capital base of the company like purchase or buy-back of common stock, new loan taken, debt borrowed are added to the total cash flows.
- The repayment of debt or loan, sale of common stock, reduction in equity are deducted from the total cash flows.
- Financial interest or dividend paid are also considered as financing activities and are thus deducted from the total cash flows when paid by the company.
The operating cash flows and the total cash flows of the company are thus obtained.
