Summit Sales, Inc., uses the indirect method to prepare its statement of cash flows.
Required:
1. Construct a table similar to the one shown. Analyze each transaction and indicate its effect on the fundamental accounting equation. If the transaction increases a financial statement element, write the amount of the increase preceded by a plus sign (+) in the appropriate column. If the transaction decreases a financial statement element, write the amount of the decrease preceded by a minus sign (-) in the appropriate column.
2. Indicate whether each transaction results in a cash inflow or a cash outflow in the ‘‘Effect on Cash Flows'' column. If the transaction has no effect on cash flow, then indicate this by placing ‘‘none'' in the ‘‘Effect on Cash Flows'' column.
3. For each transaction that affected cash flows, indicate whether the cash flow would be classified as a cash flow from operating activities, a cash flow from investing activities, or a cash flow from financing activities. If there is no effect on cash flows, indi- cate this as a noncash activity.
