I need someone to finish part one of this assignment. Part two is completed. Part one has been started. I just need the remaining terms in RED to be defined. For all of the terms I need to state which business group would use or understand them. My assignment document, professors instructions as well as the grading rubric are attached below. I would think the information added would be a page at most.

But almost all kinds of business have to incur some activities to run the business smoothly. The activities are similar in any form of business. Business activities can be classified into (Skyrius & Bujauskas, 2010): sales activities, marketing activities, accounting activities, finance activities, customer service activities, budgeting, operation and supply chain and human resource activities. On the basis of cash flow statement, a business generally carries on three types of activities which are operating, investing and financing activities. Finance activities are common in all types of classification of business activities. Finance can be described to be the movement of capital assets between two or more parties (Brealey et al., 2012). The parties involved can be individual, companies as well as government bodies. Financial activities are those, which are accomplished by the companies in order to achieve the economic goals and objectives. The annual report is actually known as financial statement since it depicts the financial position of a company. All the activities with monetary objectives can be classified as finance activities (Esplin et al., 2014). For example, activities like issuance of bonds and other forms of debt, repayments of bonds and other forms of debt, issuance of new shares, buy back of existing shares, payment of dividend, sale of treasury stock, purchase of treasury stock, etc. Activities like issuance of bonds, debts and shares, sell of treasury stocks involve cash inflows in the business since when share is issued money is received from the shareholders, when debts are loan money is received from the creditors in terms of short term or long term borrowings, when treasury stocks are sold money is received against that. Activities like payment towards shares, bonds, other debts and dividend, purchase of treasury stocks are cash outflow from the business since money is being paid to pay off the debts both short term as well as long term, money is also paid to purchase treasury stocks as well as buy back the shares of the company itself. The financial activities can further categorized as change in the equity of the owners, change in short term borrowings as well as long term borrowings. Mainly equity and liabilities are involved in the financial activities, assets are not really involved and they constitute investing activities. Financial activities generally depict the relation between the business and its creditors. The creditors include individual creditors, banks and financial institutions. When a business requires funds, it initiates finance activities (Huault & Richard, 2012). The fund can be through equity or debt. The equity fund raised need not to be repaid; only dividends have to be paid against those. But raising equity will result in divulging of interest. On the other hand, for debt instruments like debenture, bond, short term loan and long term loan, there is no divulge of ownership but such debts has to be repaid regularly with a part of the principle amount along with interest. In the cash flow, the fincial activities need to be recognized at the transaction amount and not on the fair value basis. The results from financial activities in the cash flow depict the financial health of the company at a certain point of time (Dickinson, 2011). A positive cash flow from financial activities reveal that more funds are flowing in and the company is planning to develop and grow. The inflow of cash from financing activities can be invested in new projects, acquiring other companies, in new product, so that the business can be benefitted in the long run, with more inflow of cash flow in future. A negative cash flow from the financial activities depict that the company has no intention of growth at that point of time. Moreover, the company is improving its liquidity position by paying off the due obligations. Negative cash flow often involves financial activities like payment of dividends, which is a good policy since giving shareholders their return of the profit increases the market price of the share and also builds the goodwill of the company. From this, the company can benefit in the future. So, neither positive cash flow from financial activities nor cash flow from financial activities have a bad impact on the business, it just depicts the monetary goals and the objectives of the company at that point of time.
