How can I find the amount a firm paid to purchase property, equipment in a given year on balance and cash flow?

There is a (loss) in “additions to property, plant, equipment” in the cash flow statement, a positive number for the net income line item, and positive depreciation/amoritization expenses line item in the cash flow statement. The balance sheet shows a lower in 23 amount for “property, plant, equipment, net” than the one in 22.

How can I calculate how much the firm paid for PP&E purchases in 23 using the cash flow and balance sheet information? Or is the cash flow statement not useful for this? I just need some direction, and I can plug the numbers in to get the answer. Thanks.
Open Question

  • The (loss) you refer to in the Cash Flow statement means negative Cash flow, or gross additions to PP&E . If the Balance Sheet shows a net decrease for the year, that means they disposed of more assets than they acquired that year. PP&E, Net means total assets at cost minus accumulated depreciation. So start with the Balance in Net PP&E at the beginning of the year (prior year’s ending balance), add gross additions from the Cash Flow statement, subtract the year’s depreciation expense (exclude amortization, if you can separate it out), to give you an Ending Balance if no assets had been disposed of. Subtract the actual Ending Balance to give you net book value of dispositons.

    How to spot a fake money order?

    I'm going to get payment as a Money Order for something I sold thru the internet and not being knowledgeable about MO's, how do I know if it;s legit? Do we use MO's any more? Thru the USPS? Thanks.Open Question Hi Dan, USPS Money Orders are safe to use because they have many security features that help distinguish between real and counterfeit notes. Hold the money order up to the light and look for the following security features: 1. Ben Franklin images (watermarks) repeated on the left side (top to bottom). 2. A vertical, multicolored thread that weaves in and out of the paper to the right of the Franklin watermark. When held to the light, the thread appears continuous with alternating horizontal dark and light bars behind it, and the letters USPS repeating backward and forward throughout the thread. If either of these security features is not present when the money order is held up to the light, you are holding a fraudulent Postal Money Order.
