In general, this ratio measures the portion of income that was generated in cash. All other things equal, a higher quality of income ratio indicates greater ability to finance operating and other cash needs from operating cash inflows. Quality of Income Ratio Cash Flow from Operating Activities Net Income = Quality of Income Ratio
Learning Objectives Report and interpret cash flows from investing activities. LO4
Here is the balance sheet we looked at earlier. Let’s focus on the investing accounts.
The balance sheet indicates that Equipment decreased by $170 during the quarter. If you had access to additional company information, you would discover that the company purchased $2,373 of new equipment. This is offset by $2,543 in depreciation expense (see the Cash Flows from Operating Activities).
Short-term investments increased by $4,627 during the quarter. Although short-term investments is a current asset, it is reported in the investing section on the statement of cash flows.

Capital Acquisition Ratio Cash Flow from Operating Activities Cash Paid for Property, Plant, and Equipment = Capital Acquisition Ratio

Gains Losses must be added to net income to avoid double counting the loss. Losses
Chapter Supplement B Spreadsheet Approach—Statement of Cash Flows: Indirect Method
Spreadsheet Approach The spreadsheet approach offers a systematic way to keep track of data. A spreadsheet is organized as follows: • Four columns to record dollar amounts are established (beginning balance, debit changes, credit changes, and ending balance). • On the far left of the top half of the spreadsheet, each account name from the balance sheet is entered. • On the far left of the top half of the spreadsheet, the name of each item that will be reported on the statement of cash flows is entered.
After entering all the transactions illustrated in the textbook, this is what the spreadsheet looks like.
