Step 1:

Based on the beginning and ending cash balances, cash increased by $300,000. Therefore, we are ready to enter this into the statement:

Step 2:

Once we add cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, the net increase in cash must equal $300,000. Next we need to determine what T-Accounts need to be created and what sections each T-Account belongs in (operating, investing, financing). We prepare the T-Accounts by inputting the beginning and ending balances. In addition, create a cash T-Account without inputting the cash balances.


Step 3:

Determine the changes in each one of the accounts. Then do the opposite to the cash T-Account (if you credit accounts receivable, then you debit cash).


Step 4:

As we can see, the total increase to cash was $300,000. Now we can input the information to the cash flow statement.
