Explanation of Solution

Every cash flow statement has three parts namely,

A) Cash flows from operating activities:-

These activities result from the operations of an organisation. The starting point of these activities is the net income earned by the organisation and adding into them the non cash expenses like depreciation, amortisation etc. and also adding the changes in working capital. There are two methods of reporting operating activities which are direct method and indirect method.

B) Cash flows from Investing Activities:-

These activities primarily show an organisation's purchase and sale of capital assets i.e. noncurrent assets like property, plant and equipment etc.

C) Cash flows from Financing Activities:-

These activities include transactions which allows an organisation to raise capital i.e. transactions which allow it to finance its operations and how the payment is made to its stakeholders like common stock holders, lenders of long term capital.Now, we will classify each of the ten transactions given to us into these three activities in the below drawn table.

Following table will classify each transaction into three categories:-

    Sr. No.TRANSACTIONSACTIVITIESCOMMENT

    5.Paid cash dividendsFinancing activityShown as a negative amount as it results into cash outflow.

    7.Received cash interest on a noteOperating activityShown as a positive amount as it results into cash inflows.
    8.Paid cash interest on outstanding notesOperating activityShown as a negative amount as it results into cash inflows.
    9.Received cash from sale of land at a lossInvesting activity and Operating activitySale proceeds shown under investing activity and loss shown as addition to net income under operating activity.
    10.Paid cash for property taxes on buildingOperating activityGenerally, shown as operating item, but can also be shown under investing activity as negative amount.
Conclusion

Hence, cash flow statement is an integral part of an organisation's annual report because even if the statement of income shows net loss, then the cash flow statement can give a thorough check to the stakeholders as if the organisation has positive cash balance or negative cash balance even after suffering a loss because, if it has a positive cash balance with net loss, then it can be said that organisation is capable of turning this net loss figure to net profit in the future periods.
