Answer to Question 1

Some firms are borrowing constrained. Their only source of funds to buy investment is current profit. So, when current profit rises, those borrowing constrained firms increase investment. This summarizes how cash flow can affect a firm's investment decision. Profitability simply refers to how changes in the expected present value of future profits affect investment.
