Required:
Create an EXCEL worksheet with one tab for the Direct Method and one
tab for the Indirect Method. (You can earn up to an additional 5 points for
formatting.)
A. Using EXCEL, prepare a statement of cash flows for Trout Corporation using the direct
method of reporting cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31,
Year 2.
B. Using the same EXCEL workbook and a second tab, prepare the operating activities
section only for the statement of cash flows for Trout Corporation using the indirect method
for the year ended December 31, Year 2.

C. Using Microsoft Word answer the following 1. Using the Accounts Receivable account, explain how a company may report net
income on its income statement using the accrual basis but report negative cash flow
from operating activities on its statement of cash flows using the cash basis. [Hint:

Assume that you calculate an excess of revenues over expenses (i.e., net income on
the accrual basis) but your calculation of cash flow from operating activities
(i.e., the cash basis) produces a negative number. That is, cash is used rather than
provided. See chapters 1, 4 and 21.]
2. What steps do you recommend be taken to ensure that net cash flow from operating
activities is positive next year? [Hint: Analyze the Accounts Receivable account.]
