Explain why a $50,000 increase in inventory during the year must be included in computing cash flows from operating activities under both the direct and indirect methods. The $50,000 increase in inventory must be used in the statement of cash flow calculations because it increases the outflow of cash (all else equal).
An increase in the company's inventory indicates that the company has purchased more goods than it has sold. It means an additional cash outflow as cash must be used to purchase additional consumables. Cash outflows have a negative or unfavorable impact on a company's cash position.
Therefore, as inventories increase, the company will have to spend money to buy them (cash outflow). On the other hand, the decrease in inventory will be cash in for the amount sold. We arrive at the following rule: Inventory Increase => Cash Outflow (Negative)
An indirect way to create a cash flow statement is the change in the amount of cash due to operating activities in the account on the balance sheet. and adjust the net profit for the year.

Date Particular Debit Credit
Jan 1, 2021 Cash $64,700
Discount on bond payable $5,930
Bond payable $70,000
Jun 30,2021 Interest expense $3,882
Discount on bonds payable $2,132

Workings:
Semi annual interest payment = 70,000 x 5% x 6/12

Interest expense on June 30, 2021 = Carrying value of bonds x Market interest rate
= 64,700 x 6%
= $3,882
Discount on bonds payable amortized on June 30, 2021 = Interest expense - Interest payment
