2. What caused cash to increase or decrease?
Cash is important to any healthy business and demonstrates an ability for the company to meet obligations, expand, and invest
There are three sections to the Statement of Cash Flows (SCF)
The operating section (cash from or used by the company’s business)
The investing section (cash from or used by the company’s investments in long-term assets or investments in long-term equity or debt [stocks and bonds] of other companies)
The financing section (cash from or used by borrowing or from issuing of shares)
If a company is generating cash from operations, it is more desirable than if it is generating the lion’s share of its cash from selling off investments, borrowing from banks or issuing shares of its stock. Although selling property, plant and equipment, borrowing, or issuing stock are great ways to raise cash for expansion, the company must be able to meet its day-to-day obligations from its operations.
