CHAPTER EIGHT
Viewing the Business through the Financial Statements
Concept Questions
C8.1 Free cash flow is a cash dividend from the operating activities to the financing activities;
that is, it is the net cash payoff from operations that is distributed in the financing activities. The
operations generate free cash flow which is then distributed to investors, namely to the
shareholders in net dividends with the remainder going to the net debtholders: C – I = d + F. To
see the point more clearly, C – I = d in the case where there is no net debt—that is, free cash flow
is the dividend to shareholders. With net debt, this dividend is dividend between the shareholders
and the debtholders.
C8.2 Refer to the cash conservation equation: C – I – d = F. The firm must pass out the excess
of free cash flow after dividends to net debtholders, by buying down to its own financial
obligations or by buying others’ debt as a financial asset.
C8.3 The firm borrows: C - I = d + F. So, if C - I = 0, then the firm borrows to pay the
dividend such that d + F = 0.
C8.4 An operating asset is used to produce goods or services to sell to customers in operations.
A financing asset is used for storing excess cash to be reinvested in operations, pay off debt, or
pay dividends.
C8.5 An operating liability is an obligation incurred in producing goods and services for
customers. A financial liability is an obligation incurred in raising cash to finance operations.
