Question

what is cash flow explain with example

Answer 1

Cash flow is the money that comes in and goes out of a company. It is the generation of income and the payment of expenses. Cash inflows result from either the generation of revenue through the selling of goods and services, money borrowed, or money earned through investments.

If more cash is coming into the company than leaving the company, you are experiencing positive cash flow. But if more cash is leaving the company than coming into the company, then you are experiencing negative cash flow. Keep in mind that just because you are experiencing negative cash flow for the moment doesn't mean you are going to suffer a loss, because cash flow is dynamic. Cash flow is reported on the company's cash flow statement, which is also called a statement of cash receipts and disbursements.
