Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash Flows From Operating Activities:
Cash Inflow from Customers
Cash Outflow for Inventory*
Cash Outflow for Operating Expense
Cash Outflow for Income Tax Expense
Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities
*Computation of cash paid for inventory:
4/1 Purchase 2,000 units @ $35 = $70,000
10/1 Purchase 600 units @ 38 = 22,800
$92,800
e. The difference in cash flow from operating activities between FIFO
and LIFO is caused by the difference in income tax paid for the two
methods. Taxable income is greater by using FIFO; consequently
more income tax will be paid causing a greater cash outflow for tax
expense.
