Answer:

Explanation:
Profit is when there a positive difference between the revenue a company generates and its expenses. Cash flows refer to the movement of money in and out of business. Positive cash flow is when the business has a stream of cash inflows enabling it to pay its bills on time.
When a business uses the accrual system, it records revenue when it makes a sale regardless of whether a payment has been made. If there is a delay in collecting payments from customers, the business will show more revenues but little cash inflow. The income statement will indicate profits, but the cash flow statement will be negative. Therefore, when a business is slow in collecting receivables, it will be reporting profits and negative cash flows.
