Solution

Sure, here's how you can prepare a reconciliation of operating profit to cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method:

Step 1: Start with the profit for the year.

Operating profit = $95,000

Step 2: Add back non-cash expenses (like depreciation) to the operating profit.

Operating profit + Depreciation = 95,000+95,000 + 12,000 = $107,000

Step 3: Subtract gains from the sale of assets (like the truck) from the operating profit.

Operating profit - Gain on sale of truck = 107,000107,000 - 7,500 = $99,500

Step 4: Adjust for changes in working capital.

  • Decrease in accounts receivable is an inflow of cash, so add it to the operating profit: 99,500+99,500 + 15,000 = $114,500
  • Increase in inventory is an outflow of cash, so subtract it from the operating profit: 114,500114,500 - 8,000 = $106,500
  • Decrease in accounts payable is an outflow of cash, so subtract it from the operating profit: 106,500106,500 - 5,000 = $101,500

So, the cash flows from operating activities, as per the indirect method, is $101,500.
