Under which section of the statement of cash flows is the purchase of equipment for cash reported?
AStockholders' equity reconciliation
BOperating activities
CFinancing activities
DInvesting activities
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Investing activities
1. Investing activities involve fixed or long-term assets expected to last more than one year.
2. Equipment is a long-term asset, so buying it is an investing activity.
3. Operating activities cover day-to-day income statement items and current assets/liabilities, not equipment.
4. Financing covers long-term debt and equity, not asset purchases.
