Document Summary

Conversion of selling, general and administrative expenses to a cash outflow: The computation of cash paid for operating expenses is, therefore, a two stage process. 1) analyze the change in the prepaid expenses account to determine the amount of cash paid during the period. 2) analyze the change in accrued liabilities account to compute the amount of cash that was paid during the period for various expenses. Prepaid expenses (known) + cash payments for future (deferred) expenses (unknown) prepaid expenses used during. Accrued liabilities (known) + expenses accrued during period (unknown) cash payments for accrued expenses (unknown) = end. The beginning and ending balances of prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities are reported on the statement of financial position. However, prepaid expenses that were used up during the period are not reported separately on the statement of earnings, which means we cannot compute the amount of cash paid for future expenses.
