Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement of cash flows directly shows the cash outflow for the purchase of new equipment under the investing activities section. The balance sheet only shows the increased asset value, while the income statement does not directly show the payment for new equipment. The common-size balance sheet is a comparative statement and does not show actual dollar amounts.
