medium · Financial Accounting statement-of-cash-flows

A firm using the equity method to account for a 30% investment in an associate receives a cash dividend.

In the investor's Statement of Cash Flows (indirect method), how is this transaction typically handled in the reconciliation of net income to cash flow from operations?

  1. The dividend is added back to net income as a cash inflow from the investment.
  2. The dividend is subtracted from net income as a non-cash distribution.
  3. The dividend is reported as a cash inflow in the investing activities section.
  4. No adjustment is made as the dividend has no effect on net income.
