Explanation:
Financing activities are all activities that a corporation undertakes to affect the company's long-term liabilities or equity.
You list the following activities
- receipts from customers
- receipt from bank for long-term borrowing
- payment to suppliers
- payment of dividends
- payment to workers
- payment for machinery
Any receipts to customers or payments to suppliers are short-term reimbursements for labor or purchase of product, and as such are not included in the financing activity cash flows. Your payments for machinery are not financing activities either as machinery is not considered a liability, rather, it is an asset for the company.
However, your receipt from the bank for long-term borrowing and payments of dividends affect both long-term liabilities and equity, and those are reflected on the financing cash flows as such
Receipts from the bank for long-term borrowing - $7500
Payment of dividends - ($1500)
Net cash flows from financing activities - $6000
Answer:
The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) is published by the International Chamber of Commerce and was revised in 1993 and put into use January 1, 1994. The purpose of the UCP is to clarify gray areas that may appear in a letter of credit and to help banks interpret conditions in the letter of credit in a consistent manner.
However, as anyone who has ever worked with a letter of credit knows, there is plenty of disagreement between all parties concerned. Banks, account parties, and beneficiaries can all disagree about what complies and what does not comply when the shipping documents are checked against the terms of the letter of credit.
Sometimes the UCP just doesn’t clarify a situation the way you think it should. After all there is a huge difference between the words “will” and “may.” For instance: “Banks will accept…” versus “Banks may accept….” One is definite and the other appears to be open to interpretation. It’s not surprising confusion results.
