    A company can have whatever extra reserves it wants. If they choose to set aside part of their retained earnings and call them a reserve for replacement of assets, then they can do. It is not a legal requirement, but they might do it just to make sure they do not distribute all the earnings as dividend.

    In the statement of cash flows, dividends received are shown under the heading ‘cash flows from investing activities’. Dividends paid can be shown either under ‘cash flows from operating activities’ or ‘cash flows from financing activities’ – I explain this in my free lectures.
