3. In discussing a well-known company, a recent newspaper article reported that "management has to
deal with a lack of factory capacity, rising wages because of skilled-worker shortages, and a
higher cost of capital than that faced by competitors." The firm had borrowed heavily in the long-
term capital markets in recent years and now interest rates have declined substantially.
For each of these problems, identify which of the three types of activities (operating, financing, or
investing) is involved. Also, indicate the probable effect on cash flow from dealing with each of
these problems.
4. Define financing, investing, and operating activities and give two examples of each type of
activity in which a retail store (i.e. Sears, Wal-Mart, etc.) would be engaged.
