Part 2
Kazaam Company dividend payments of $62,125 represent 84% of the $73,750 net income for the year, which is in the normal range for most companies. However, operating activities provide a net cash inflow of $33,375 which is low for that amount of a dividend payout.
Further analysis reveals that investing activities used a modest $11,375 and, excluding the dividends, financing activities used only $3,750. This resulted in a $22,750 decrease in the company's cash balance for the year, a 30% decrease.
