This is true. An increase in the reserve requirement is put in place to prevent inflation. This is what you call a contractionary policy or a restrictive monetary policy. When this happens, the amount of reserves increases and the money supply decreases because liquidity is reduced.

Each of the items below must be considered in preparing a statement of cash flows for Baskerville Co. for the year ended Decembe

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

a. Issued bonds for $200,000 cash ⇒ Cash inflow from Financing Activities.

Financing activities refer to those that bring in capital to the company. This capital comes in the form of equity and long term liabilities like bonds. Money coming in from bonds will therefore be an inflow here.

b. Purchased equipment for $150,000 cash. ⇒ Cash Outflow from Investing Activities

Investing activities have to do with the fixed assets of the company as well as investments into the securities of other companies. Money is leaving the company to purchase the fixed asset here -equipment - so this is an outflow.

c.Sold land costing $20,000 for $20,000 cash. ⇒ Cash inflow from Investing Activities.

As already stated, Investing activities relate to fixed assets. Selling a fixed asset such as land will therefore bring in cash from investing activities.

d. Declared and paid a $50,000 cash dividend⇒ Cash Outflow from Financing activities

As financing activities relate to equity, dividends will be a cash outflow from here because it is cash that is leaving the company to go to equity holders.
