Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Cash from operating activities is positive. This means that Team Shirts is generating more in cash sales than it is spending to run the business. This is a sign of a healthy business. Cash used for investing is negative. This shows that Team Shirts is investing in the future by spending money on new equipment used to run the business. This is a sign that the business is growing. Cash used for financing means that Team Shirts has either paid off a debt or paid dividends to shareholders. Repayment of debt is a healthy business practice. Paying dividends to investors is also a good business practice.

This cash flow picture is normal for a new business. However, to conserve cash, Team Shirts should consider using credit to buy new equipment or postponing such purchases until the business has more cash. It could also forgo paying cash dividends until more cash is generated from operating activities.
