Cash includes cash and cash equivalents which are short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months (little risk that their value will change if interest rates changes) Cash flows from operating activities is always the same whether it is computed by using the direct or indirect method. Cash flows from investing activities are cash inflows and outflows related to the acquisition or sale of productive facilities and investments in the securities of other companies.
