Krause · Answer 1

determine cash investing and financing transactions made during the period.

Explanation:

When you analyze the statement of cash flows, you can determine and predict how will operating cash flows be in the future. E. g. a project is generating high amounts of cash, so you can predict that it will continue to do so for some time. But what you cannot predict or even compare is related to the financial and investing transactions that the company will make in the future. E. g. by analyzing a cash flow you cannot know if the company will decide to invest in other projects or will it decide to issue more stocks.
