ASPE does not provide options.Rather,the receipt of interest and dividends and the payment of interest are operating activities; the payment of dividends is a financing activity.

a.The three primary sources of information required to prepare a statement of cash flows are the company's comparative balance sheet,its income statement for the period,and select transaction data.
b.The indirect method ignores the component parts and reports the change in the net receivables as an adjustment to net income in the cash flow from operating activities section.The direct method of presentation deals with the two elements separately.Cash from sales is adjusted for the change in the gross amount of the receivables and the operating component of the cash paid to suppliers and employees is adjusted for the change in the allowance account.
c.Cash flows from the purchase and sale of treasury shares are reported as a financing activity.
d.Other comprehensive income (OCI)is not normally reported on the statement of cash flows as OCI does not affect cash since it records only unrealized gains and losses on select items.The exception to this is that under the indirect method companies can use comprehensive income as a starting point,with the components of other comprehensive income being recorded as reversing items in the cash flows arising from operating activities section.
e.Investments in associates are typically accounted for using the equity method.The statement of cash flows is concerned only with the cash received or advanced,rather than investment income.The required adjustment for the indirect method of presentation entails deducting income from investments in the operating section and recording dividends received in either the operating or investing section.
f.Cash flows from discontinued operating activities are shown separately in the operating,investing,and financing activities of the statement of cash flows according to their nature.Alternatively,this information may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
