Dear Mr. Kappeler:

I have good news and bad news about the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The good news is that net income of $100,000 is close to what we predicted in the strategic plan last year, indicating strong performance this year. The bad news is that the cash balance is seriously low. Enclosed is the Statement of Cash Flows, which best illustrates how both of these situations occurred simultaneously â¦

Workings

The disparity between the net income and the cash floe are as a result loss of cash to operating activities as a result of cash tied down to increase in receivable and inventory and also to an increase in payable leading to an overall cash generated by operating activities of 0

Moreover , a larger portion (300,000) of the opening cash balance(400,000) for the year was used in acquiring land and equipment and also 100,000 used in the redemption of bond. , even though this reduced the interest expense and improve equity , yet it was a big blow to the cash flow.

The importance of cash flow is that it helps to analyse and monitor cash movement and cash available for the purpose of business activities towards liquidity and long term solvency.

Renewable sources of cash flow are generated from the company's operating activities as the cash used for the financing and operating activities are generated from this medium.

Suggestion to improve cash flow for Kappler are

Reduce the level of inventory heldNegotiate with the account payable for a longer trade payable payment periodReduce the trade receivable collection periodPayment of dividends and redemption of bonds van be suspended till alter date when adequate cash is availableit can also negotiate for external sources of financing
