Given the following information, construct the statement of cash flow. What happened to the firm's liquidity position during the year? Net income
Decrease in accounts receivable
Increase in accounts payable
Sale of bonds
Dividends
Retirement of bonds
Increase in inventory
Depreciation expense
Cost of goods sold
Reduction in income taxes payable
Sale of stock
Purchase of plant and equipment
Beginning cash
Repurchase of stock
The firm's cash position has increased, but that does not mean the firm is more liquid since inventory and accounts payable increased while accounts receivable declined. You should also note that the firm increased its investment in plant by using the cash generated through depreciation and the issuing of new long-term debt. The earnings and sale of stock did not cover dividends and stock repurchases. This indicates that the firm is more financially leveraged.
