Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities | CFA Level 1 - AnalystPrep (2)

In addition to activities that generate cash flows (operating, investing, and financing), companies also engage in investing and financing activities that do not generate any cash flows. These activities are therefore not reported on the cash flow statement.

Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

A company does not generate any cash inflows or cash outflows from non-cash investing and financing activities. However, these activities can still have a material effect on a company’s financial position.

Examples of non-cash activities include:

  • issuance of common shares for dividend purposes, or conversion of convertible bonds or convertible preferred shares; and
  • exchange of one non-monetary asset for another non-monetary asset.

From these examples, it is easy to see that non-cash activities can significantly affect a company’s capital composition. As a result, once a significant non-cash transaction is involved, a company must disclose this transaction in its cash flow statement. It can do so either in a separate note or in a supplementary schedule.

Question 1

Which of the following transactions is an example of a non-cash activity?

  1. Purchase of equipment.
  2. Investment in another company’s debt.
  3. Issuance of common stock in relation to the conversion of preferred stock.

Solution

The correct answer is C.

Issuance of common stock in relation to the conversion of preferred stock is an example of a non-cash activity.

A is incorrect. The purchase of equipment is an operating activity.

B is incorrect. Investment in another company’s debt is an investing activity. Both options A and C are cash activities that would be reflected on a company’s cash flow statement.

Question 2

XXR Co. replaced a physical asset with a carrying amount of $50,000 with another asset of the same value. The company didn’t pay any cash to settle the transaction. Under which section of the cash flow statement should the transaction be recorded?

  1. Investing.
  2. Financing.
  3. Neither investing nor financing.

Solution

The correct answer is C.

Given that the transaction didn’t involve cash, it would have no effect on the cash flow statement.

    Excelente para el FRM 2Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

    So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts. The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

    A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them. Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

    I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

    Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.

    Trustpilot rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 69 reviews.
