...The statement of cash flow's primary purpose is to provide information regarding a company's cash inflows and outflows during a specified accounting period. This paper will focus more on how cash flow is helpful to external users. The statement of cash flow complements the income statement and the balance sheet. When credit decisions are made, many factors must be assessed. According to FASB (SFAS-95, paragraph 5) the information on actual cash flows is useful to help creditors, investors, and other external parties asses (1) the ability of an enterprise to generate positive future net cash flows, meet its obligations, and pay dividends; (2) the needs for external financing; (3) the reasons for the differences between cash flow from operating activities and net income (or change in net assets); and (4) the effects on financial position of cash and non-cash investing and financing activities. Cash flows are classified as operating, investing, or financing activities. Operating activities relates to company’s primary revenue generating activities such as cash generated from the sale of goods and cash paid from merchandise. Investing activities includes lending money and collecting on loans related to noncurrent assets. For example, cash generated from the sale of land. Financing activities include borrowing and repaying money from creditors related to noncurrent liabilities and owners’ equity. The goal is for company to have a positive cash flow from operating.

The result is a simplified version of eVal4, the spreadsheet model that is provided with “Equity Valuation and Analysis” by Russell Lundholm and Richard Sloan, but one that you should completely understand (because you built it yourself!). To save you some time, many of the cells are completed; you only need to finish the blue-shaded ones. There are five parts to this case, corresponding to the five tasks listed above. The case requires two files: Building eVal4.xls and General Mills 10-K.pdf. Part A: Standardized Financial Statements The financial statements filed with the SEC are not standardized, meaning that the company is free to report and label line items however they please (within obvious limits). For this reason, there is an intermediary business that takes the filed financial statements and sorts the line items into a predetermined set of accounts. We will explore this important part of the reporting process in this part of the case. 1) Find the “as reported” financial statements in General Mills’s 10-K filing (in the...

Cash budgeting is an integral component for effective capital working policy (Emery, Finnerty, & Stowe, 2007). Establishing a cash budget is a means to observe a company’s inflow and outflow of cash, which in turn, will assist in adequate forecasting and planning, especially concerning when it comes to short-term credit (Emery et al, 2007). A high-quality working capital policy would also free up cash, which may be allocated to strategic areas for the company’s growth. LS must cease from financing shortages through credit lines with heavy reliance on selling inventory and receiving prompt payments. To understand the changes needed, a review of LS current policy will be analyzed and alternative working capital policies will be compared. Recommendations will be represented regarding which policy LS should implement.
