Question 4 (3 marks )

Cash flows from investing activities relate to acquisition and disposal of non-current assets and other investments that are not included in cash equivalents. Businesses need to invest in assets to generate returns. From the Statement of Cash Flow it can be seen that the entity sold items of equipment and  vehicles and purchased new equipment.

It is common that the cash flow from investing activities have a negative cash outflow because businesses are more commonly purchasing and updating assets as they age.  Often selling prices obtained for assets  that no longer have a productive life are considerably lower than the cost to purchase new replacement   assets.

The CEO should be more alarmed if the net cash flows from operating activities shows net cash outflows for a number of reporting periods.  This may mean that the company will have insufficient cash flow to not        only meet operating activities but to also assist in meeting investing and financing opportunities.  This can    impact on liquidity and if not amended may result in insolvency.

Question 6 (3 mark s )

According to the Cash Budget prepared in part (a), Brockbank will have $9,900 cash available in May which is above their nominated cash balance, however, in June, the cash balance will fall below the required         minimum cash holdings by $1,625 due to the payment of the loan and interest due .  One recommendation would be to arrange long term financing to purchase the new equipment in May rather than purchase it     using cash.  They will then be in a better cash position to pay the loan and interest due in June.                     Alternatively, should they purchase the equipment using cash, this will result in the cash position falling      below the required threshold in June.  Given that the cash balance is still positive, but is below the               minimum cash requirements it would be advisable that Brockbank negotiate to obtain and overdraft.  This would then enable them to access a line of credit should they need additional financing .
