Highland Park Homes reports net income of $300,000, and yet its net cash flow from operating activities is a negative $200,000 during the same period. Is this possible? Explain.

It is possible to report net income and negative operating cash flows at the same time. Increases in current assets and decreases in current liabilities both result in net income that is higher than operating cash flows. As one specific example, an increase in accounts receivable of $500,000 would result in net income exceeding operating cash flows by $500,000.
