Operating Activities
 The firm should always expect
a POSITIVE net cash flow from
Operating Activities. Why?
 Because these are the cash
flows from the provision of
goods and services in the day-
to-day operations of the
business
 Operating cash flows are
from buying and selling
stock
 The firm should be selling
stock for more than they
buy it for and for an amount
that covers their expenses
