Information
about Genesis provided earlier reveals two transactions involving
noncurrent liabilities. We analyzed one of those, the $60,000 issuance
of notes payable to purchase plant assets. This transaction is reported
as a significant noncash investing and financing activity in a footnote
or a separate schedule to the statement of cash flows. The other
remaining transaction involving noncurrent liabilities is the cash
retirement of notes payable.
Point:
Financing activities generally refer to changes in the noncurrent
liability and the equity accounts. Examples are (1) receiving cash from
issuing debt or repaying amounts borrowed and (2) receiving cash from or
distributing cash to owners.
Notes Payable Transactions The first stage in analysis of notes is to review the comparative balance sheets from Exhibit 16.10. This analysis reveals an increase in notes payable from $64,000 to $90,000.
The second stage explains this change. Item e
of the additional information for Genesis (page 639) reports that notes
with a carrying value of $34,000 are retired for $18,000 cash,
resulting in a $16,000 gain. The reconstructed entry for analysis of
item e follows:
This
entry reveals an $18,000 cash outflow for retirement of notes and a
$16,000 gain from comparing the notes payable carrying value to the cash
received. This gain does not reflect any cash inflow or outflow. Also,
item b of the additional information reports that Genesis
purchased plant assets costing $70,000 by issuing $60,000 in notes
payable to the seller and paying $10,000 in cash. We reconstructed this
entry when analyzing investing activities: It showed a $60,000 increase
to notes payable that is reported as a noncash investing and financing
transaction. The Notes Payable account reflects (and is fully explained
by) these reconstructed entries as follows:
The
third stage is to report the cash flow effect of the notes retirement
in the financing section of the statement as follows (also see Exhibit 16.7 or 16.11):
