Example: XYZ sells an old building for $700,000 and purchases a new building for $1,000,000. The $700,000 inflow of cash and the $1,000,000 outflow of cash must be shown separately.

Direct Method Net income is reconstructed on a cash basis. Requires a supplemental reconciliation of net income to cash flow from operating activities. Used by 1.2% of companies. Direct Method or Indirect Method?

Example: Bobo, Inc. acquires a building in exchange for 2,000 shares of common stock. This is reported in a separate supplemental schedule attached to the statement of cash flows. Direct exchange transactions occur when noncurrent balance sheet items are swapped. Such exchanges must be disclosed. Other Cash Flow Issues
