A statement of cash flows is a financial report that tells you which of the following?

  1. Where the money used to operate the business came from
  2. The financial condition of the business at a specific point in time
  3. How much money is owed to the company by its customers
  4. The financial results of operations over a period of time

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Answer option A is correct. A statement of cash flows provides information about the money that flowed through the business. It identifies whether the cash was received from customers, loans, or other sources; how much cash was spent to operate the business; and how much was reinvested in the business. A balance sheet describes the financial condition of the business at a specific point in time (B). The income statement, or profit and loss statement, tells you the financial results of operations over a period of time (D). An accounts-receivable ledger describes how much money is owed to the company by each customer (C). See Chapters 2 and 3 for more information.
