Answer:

A cash flow statement is one of the most important statements along with the income statement and balance sheet in the financial statements.

A statement of cash flow lets the organization know how much  precisely on cash that came in and went out of the organization in any given period.

a) To predict future cash flow: this is a function of the cash flow statement as it enables the organization predict from past figures through a cash projection statement which modifies and accounts for anticipated changes in price, volume, interest rates, and other factors and enables the firm know  how much cash is likely to flow in and out of the entity in any given future period. This enables the firm know where it stands in terms of liquidity and also helps in budgeting and making long-term plans for the organization.

b) To evaluate management decision: The cash flow statement is a great indication of a firms liquidity which is a vital indicator a the firms ability to remain in business. The cash flow statement enables investors know the exact amount of cash the has come in and out of the organization and not the profit and loss (which can be influenced through profit smoothing). The cash flow statement portrays how well cash has been spent by the company and what the cash was spent on.

c) Predict the ability to make debt payments to lenders and pay dividends to stockholders: the cash flow statement helps the firm acknowledge how much in cash i.e. how liquid the firm is which is basically its ability to make debt payments as well as any other cash payment required such as payment of dividend. The cash flow statement also lets the firm know is it would require borrowing to make any such payment.

Explanation:

Interest expense is classified under expenses in the Income statement.

Assets such as patents, trademarks fall under intangible assets.

Assets such as inventory and prepaid rent fall under current assets, which are assets that are cash already or can easily be converted into cash within a year.

Land held for investment is classified as long term investment, which is investment that a company will hold for more than a year. To make it easier to remember you should think of land as a non current asset which is an asset that takes longer than a year to be converted into cash.

Accumulated depreciation is classified under Property, Plant and Equipment  because these are the assets that depreciate.

Your payable accounts will be classified as current liabilities because the amounts are outstanding in other words you owe the amount.  

Retained earnings are part of the shareholders' equity because it is the net income from the business operations. In addition the dividends amount is deducted from retained earnings.
