But what about A) Decrease in cash? That’s also a use of funds.

I thought liabilities were a source of funds, not a use!

I’m confused about D) Tax refund. It seems like it could be a use of funds, but I thought refunds were more about getting money back?

I practiced a similar question, and I think liabilities increasing is more of a source of funds, so B) seems wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like a decrease in cash is definitely a use of funds, so A) could be right.

I think I remember that uses of funds usually mean something that costs money, so maybe it's C) Increase in fixed assets?

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Uses of funds are outflows of cash, so the right answer has to be either A, B, or C. A tax refund wouldn't be a use of funds, so I'll go with C.

This is a good test of my understanding of financial accounting concepts. I'll eliminate the options that don't fit the definition of uses of funds, then select the correct answer.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know uses of funds are things that reduce cash, but I'm not totally clear on the other options. Maybe I should review my notes quickly before answering.
