Step-by-step explanation:

Statement of cash flows shows the cash generated and expended by an entity during an accounting period. The statement divides the inflow and outflow of cash into three sections: operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating activities contain activities relating to cash inflow and outflow of entity`s primary operation during a given year. Example of this inflow and outflow are cash receipt from customers and cash payment to vendors.

Investing activities contain activities relating to entity`s investment in assets. Example includes cash received from disposal of an asset.

Financing activities contain activities relating to entity`s relationship with provider of capital like equity owner and debt holder.

Cash inflow refers incoming of cash into the business. Example includes cash received from customers. Cash outflow refers to outgoing of cash from the business. Example includes cash paid to vendors.
