    hi all, been reading comments and many seem confused about where the numbers for direct come from, the conversion are a combination of IS and BS information.
    the sales 300k --> 440k is simply taking the 300k + 30k from decrease in AR (decrease in AR means we collected cash) + 110k increase in unearned revenue (means we got paid for work ahead of time without doing the work)
    the COGS 50k --> 70k is taking the 50k of COGS + 40k increase in inventory (purchases made but not yet sold) - 20k increase in AP (purchases we have yet to pay for)
    the interest of 10k --> take the 10k and add the 2k decrease in interest payable (payable decreasing means we made payments)
    finally,
    the income tax of 8k --> take the 8k and add the 1k decrease in income tax payable (same reasoning as interest payable)

      Thank you, I don't know why Prof, Edspira didn't respond to many people confused about the $440,000 Cash, including me. Thank you for making it clear. I was searching for next, upcoming video, ( He kept Saying, over and over ) but could not find it. I thought I was good at Operating activities Cash flow. I never thought of unearned revenue to add to sales, as cash flow.. Anyway, I like Prof, Edspira's clean and clear video-look. I though it was the same like TONY BELL's Video. I was going back and forth with their videos, thinking it was one Professor. thank you.

    Just in case anyone is confused, Depreciation expense under INDIRECT METHOD is added back to operating section as it is an non-cash item. Meanwhile, Depreciation expense under DIRECT METHOD has NO ADJUSTMENT (IGNORED.

    I tried to do the indirect method on an actual financial statement, but the AR and Inventory delta (example: AR 2022 - AR 2021) do not match with the amount listed in the CFO for changes in AR and Inventory. Any idea why?

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  2 года назад +2

      This is quite common and it is frustrating. Here are several possible reasons: (1) the company engaged in noncash transactions, such as acquiring an investment in another company by issuing stock, (2) in the process of consolidating foreign subsidiaries the parent company translated assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries to the currency of the parent, (3) the company acquired (or divested) a company during the year, in which case the cash outflow (or inflow, in the case of a divestiture) would appear in the investing section of the statement of cash flows but the assets and liabilities of the company acquired (or divested) wouldn't be included when calculating the changes in assets and liabilities for the statement of cash flow.

    its been two or three videos you keep saying you'll get into how to go from 300k in revenue to 440k in cash from customers but we have yet to get into it. and by the next video we're on a different topic and never revisit this. could you please explain how/what we converted to go from revenue to cash received from customers please?

      Hello! There is a T chart for Accounts Receivables that I believe is helpful to visualize, but essentially in order to find Cash from Customers under the Direct method you need to:
      1. Start with Beginning Accounts Receivable -> 50,000
      2. Add Credit Sales (Or Sales Revenue) -> + 300,000
      3. Add the Unearned Revenue -> + 110,000
      4. Take the Total (460,000) and subtract the Ending Accounts Receivable (20,000)
      1. 460,000 - 20,000 = 440,000
      440,000 is the Cash Collected in Accounts receivable OR Cash from Customers.
      Hope this helps! :)

    • @jaredmoody6093
      @jaredmoody6093 2 года назад +1

      The change in accounts receivable gives us 30,000. Since revenue is recorded when earned this would of all been recognised in the prior years income statement(accrual basis of accounting). Since he is converting to cash accounting, the 30,000 change in AR has been received in the 2022 FY as cash which is added to 300,000 making 330,000. The remaining comes from unearned revenue which is goods or services paid for that haven’t been delivered or earnt, which obviously isn’t included in this years accrual income statement as revenue hasn’t been earnt. So adding that to 330,000 we get 440,000 in total cash received.

    The indirect method makes a lot of sense, but the direct method looks like the numbers just got made up for the sake of getting to the same answer. How is income tax expense going to be 8k then mysteriously become 9k for the sake of using the direct method? I must be missing something.

    • @liaminal4934
      @liaminal4934 5 лет назад +3

      We start with the expense (8,000), but then we have to check the changes in our “income tax payable” account. You’ll see that it goes down by 1,000, meaning that, in addition to the 8,000 we payed this year, we also payed 1,000 to cover some of the deferred taxes from last year (hence the payable going down). In the indirect method the income tax expense would be taken off net income (which is the first line of the indirect SCF) however the remaining 1000 in the payable account would be dealt with later when we accounted for changes in working capital. It’s not that he fudged the numbers, it’s that the two statements behave differently.
