ANALYZING CLINE CUSTOM BICYLES’ CASH FLOWS
Darin Cline formerly an internationally renowned professional bicycle racer, owns and operates Cline Custom Bicycles – a firm that builds and markets custom bicycles to shops throughout the United States. Darin has just received his firm’s 2015 income statement, balance sheet, and statement of retained earnings, shown in what follows along with the firm’s 2014 balance sheet.
