The information below relates to Reynolds Ltd. Use it to prepare a statement of cash flows using the direct method and a reconciliation of profit to cash provided by operating activities.

The direct method reports cash receipts less cash payments to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities. For clarification, payments to suppliers are shown separately from payments for expenses in the solution. However, they are usually combined in external statements of cash flows. Similarly, the sale of land and the sale of equipment are shown separately in the solution but are usually combined and shown as proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment in external statements of cash flows.
