CFA Practice Question
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
II. Since interest and dividend receipts are not related to operating activities, they are not shown as part of the net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows.
I. Transactions involving sales and the cost of goods sold are summarized as operating activities.
II. Since interest and dividend receipts are not related to operating activities, they are not shown as part of the net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows.
Correct Answer: I
Operating activities are transactions entering into the determination of net income, with the exception of gains and losses relating to financing or investing activities. While interest and dividend receipts are not related to operating activities, they do enter into the determination of net income. Because of this, the FASB decided to classify the related cash flows as operating activities. Dividend payments are financing activities.
