1Choose one of the two alternatives given below and fill in the blanks:
(a) If the net profits earned during the year is Rs. 50,000 and the amount of debtors in the beginning and the end of the year is Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 20,000 respectively, then the cash from operating activities will be equal to Rs. ___________ (Rs. 40,000/Rs. 60,000)
(b) If the net profits made during the year are Rs. 50,000 and the bills receivables have decreased by Rs. 10,000 during the year then the cash flow from operating activities will be equal to Rs. ___________ (40,000/Rs. 60,000)
(c) Expenses paid in advance at the end of the year are ___________ the profit made during the year (added to/deducted from).
(d) An increase in accrued income during the particular year is ___________ the net profit (added to/deducted from).
(e) Goodwill amortised is ___________ the profit made during the year for calculating the cash flow from operating activities (added to/deducted from).
(f) For calculating cash flow from operating activities, provision for doubtful debts is ___________ the profit made during the year (added to/deducted from).Show solution
Answer: Rs. 40,000
(b) Net Profit = Rs. 50,000; Bills Receivables decreased by Rs. 10,000 (decrease in bills receivables means more cash collected, so add).
Answer: Rs. 60,000
(c) Expenses paid in advance (prepaid expenses) at the end of the year represent cash paid but not yet charged to profit. They are deducted from the profit made during the year.
Answer: deducted from
(d) An increase in accrued income means income has been recognised in profit but cash has not been received. Therefore, it is deducted from the net profit.
Answer: deducted from
(e) Goodwill amortised is a non-cash charge that has been debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss, thereby reducing profit. Since no cash is paid, it is added to the profit made during the year.
Answer: added to
(f) Provision for doubtful debts is a non-cash charge that reduces profit. Since no cash outflow occurs, it is added to the profit made during the year.
Answer: added to
2While computing cash from operating activities, indicate whether the following items will be added or subtracted from the net profit — if not to be considered, write NC:
(a) Increase in the value of creditors
(b) Increase in the value of patents
(c) Decrease in prepaid expenses
(d) Decrease in income received in advance
(e) Decrease in value of inventory
(f) Increase in share capital
(g) Increase in the value of trade receivables
(h) Increase in the amount of outstanding expenses
(i) Conversion of debentures into shares
(j) Decrease in the value of trade payables
(k) Increase in the value of trade receivables
(l) Decrease in the amount of accrued incomeShow solution
- Non-cash items and non-operating items
- Changes in working capital (current assets and current liabilities)
Increase in current liability → Add (more cash retained)
Decrease in current liability → Subtract (cash paid out)
Increase in current asset → Subtract (cash used)
Decrease in current asset → Add (cash released)
| Item | Treatment |
|---|---|
|(a) Increase in the value of creditors (Trade Payables)| Added — increase in current liability means less cash paid |
|(b) Increase in the value of patents| NC — purchase of patents is an investing activity, not an operating working capital item |
|(c) Decrease in prepaid expenses| Added — decrease in current asset releases cash |
|(d) Decrease in income received in advance| Subtracted — decrease in current liability means cash was not received for this portion |
|(e) Decrease in value of inventory| Added — decrease in current asset releases cash |
|(f) Increase in share capital| NC — it is a financing activity |
|(g) Increase in the value of trade receivables| Subtracted — increase in current asset uses cash |
|(h) Increase in the amount of outstanding expenses| Added — increase in current liability means expense recognised but cash not yet paid |
|(i) Conversion of debentures into shares| NC — it is a non-cash financing activity |
|(j) Decrease in the value of trade payables| Subtracted — decrease in current liability means cash was paid out |
|(k) Increase in the value of trade receivables| Subtracted — same as (g); increase in current asset uses cash |
|(l) Decrease in the amount of accrued income| Added — decrease in current asset (accrued income) means cash was received |

2From the following information, calculate cash flows from investing and financing activities:
| Particulars | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Machine at cost | 5,00,000 | 9,00,000 |
| Accumulated Depreciation | 3,00,000 | 4,50,000 |
| Equity Share Capital | 28,00,000 | 35,00,000 |
| Bank Loan | 12,50,000 | 7,50,000 |
In year 2017, machine costing Rs. 2,00,000 was sold at a profit of Rs. 1,50,000. Depreciation charged on machine during the year 2017 amounted to Rs. 2,50,000.Show solution
Machine sold: Cost = Rs. 2,00,000
Accumulated depreciation on sold machine:
Using Machine Account (at cost):
Using Accumulated Depreciation Account:
Book Value of machine sold = Rs. 2,00,000 − Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
Sale proceeds = Book Value + Profit = Rs. 1,00,000 + Rs. 1,50,000 = Rs. 2,50,000
Cash Flows from Investing Activities:
| Particulars | Rs. |
|---|---|
| Purchase of Machine (outflow) | (6,00,000) |
| Proceeds from sale of Machine (inflow) | 2,50,000 |
| Net Cash used in Investing Activities | (3,50,000) |
Step 2: Financing Activities
Equity Share Capital increased: Rs. 35,00,000 − Rs. 28,00,000 = Rs. 7,00,000 (inflow)
Bank Loan repaid: Rs. 12,50,000 − Rs. 7,50,000 = Rs. 5,00,000 (outflow)
Cash Flows from Financing Activities:
| Particulars | Rs. |
|---|---|
| Proceeds from issue of Equity Share Capital | 7,00,000 |
| Repayment of Bank Loan | (5,00,000) |
| Net Cash from Financing Activities | 2,00,000 |
Short Answer Questions
1What is a Cash Flow Statement?Show solution
- It is prepared as per Accounting Standard-3 (AS-3) Revised, which is mandatory for all companies under the Companies Act, 2013.
- It classifies cash flows into three categories:
1. Operating Activities — principal revenue-generating activities
2. Investing Activities — acquisition and disposal of long-term assets
3. Financing Activities — activities that change the size and composition of capital and borrowings
- It helps users assess the ability of the enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the enterprise to utilise those cash flows.
2How are the various activities classified (as per AS-3 revised) while preparing cash flow statement?Show solution
1. Operating Activities:
- These are the principal revenue-producing activities of the enterprise.
- Examples: Cash received from customers, cash paid to suppliers, cash paid to employees, income tax paid, etc.
2. Investing Activities:
- These involve the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.
- Examples: Purchase/sale of fixed assets, purchase/sale of investments, interest received, dividend received.
3. Financing Activities:
- These are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the owners' capital and borrowings of the enterprise.
- Examples: Proceeds from issue of shares/debentures, repayment of loans, payment of dividends, interest paid.
The net increase or decrease in cash = Cash from Operating + Investing + Financing Activities.
3State the objectives of cash flow statement.Show solution
1. Liquidity Assessment: To assess the ability of the enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents.
2. Cash Planning: To help management plan and coordinate financial operations by forecasting future cash needs.
3. Comparison: To enable comparison of operating performance of different enterprises by eliminating the effects of different accounting treatments.
4. Solvency Check: To evaluate the solvency of the enterprise — whether it can meet its short-term and long-term obligations.
5. Basis for Decision Making: To provide information useful for making economic decisions.
6. Reconciliation: To reconcile the difference between net profit and net cash flow from operating activities.
7. Evaluation of Investing and Financing Decisions: To show how the enterprise has used its cash resources in investing and financing activities.
4What are the objectives of preparing cash flow statement?Show solution
1. To assess liquidity and solvency of the business — whether the enterprise can generate sufficient cash to meet its obligations.
2. To provide information about cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities.
3. To help in short-term financial planning — management can plan cash requirements in advance.
4. To evaluate the ability of the enterprise to generate cash from operations.
5. To facilitate comparison of cash flow performance across different enterprises and different periods.
6. To explain the difference between net profit and net cash flow from operations.
7. To assess the impact of investing and financing decisions on the financial position of the enterprise.
*(Note: Questions 3 and 4 are similar; both relate to objectives of Cash Flow Statement.)*
5State the meaning of the terms: (i) Cash Equivalents, (ii) Cash flows.Show solution
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are:
- Readily convertible into known amounts of cash, and
- Subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Examples: Treasury bills, commercial paper, money market funds, short-term government bonds (maturity of 3 months or less from the date of acquisition).
Bank overdrafts and cash credits are also treated as cash equivalents (negative cash) as they form an integral part of cash management.
(ii) Cash Flows:
Cash flows refer to inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents during an accounting period.
- Cash Inflows: Receipts of cash or cash equivalents (e.g., cash received from customers, proceeds from sale of assets).
- Cash Outflows: Payments of cash or cash equivalents (e.g., cash paid to suppliers, purchase of fixed assets).
Cash flows exclude movements between items that constitute cash or cash equivalents (e.g., transfer from bank account to cash in hand).

8"The nature/type of enterprise can change altogether the category into which a particular activity may be classified." Do you agree? Illustrate your answer.Show solution
The classification of a cash flow activity depends on the nature of the enterprise. The same activity can fall under different categories for different types of enterprises.
Illustration 1: Interest Received
- For a manufacturing company: Interest received on investments is an Investing Activity (as it is a return on investment, not the main business).
- For a bank or financial institution: Interest received on loans given is an Operating Activity (as lending money and earning interest is the principal business).
Illustration 2: Dividend Received
- For a non-financial company: Dividend received on shares held as investment is an Investing Activity.
- For an investment company: Dividend received is an Operating Activity (as investing in shares and earning dividends is the main business).
Illustration 3: Purchase/Sale of Securities
- For a manufacturing company: Purchase of shares is an Investing Activity.
- For a stock broker or investment company: Purchase and sale of securities is an Operating Activity.
Conclusion: The same transaction can be classified differently depending on the type of enterprise, because what is a primary revenue-generating activity for one enterprise may be a secondary or investment activity for another.
Long Answer Questions
1Describe the procedure to prepare Cash Flow Statement.Show solution
A Cash Flow Statement is prepared by analysing the changes in balance sheet items between two accounting periods and the information from the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Step 1: Calculate Cash Flow from Operating Activities (Indirect Method)
1. Start with Net Profit before Tax.
2. Add back non-cash charges: depreciation, amortisation, provision for doubtful debts, loss on sale of assets.
3. Deduct non-operating incomes: profit on sale of assets, dividend received, interest received.
4. Adjust for changes in Working Capital:
- Add: Decrease in current assets / Increase in current liabilities
- Deduct: Increase in current assets / Decrease in current liabilities
5. Deduct income tax paid → Net Cash from Operating Activities.
Step 2: Calculate Cash Flow from Investing Activities
1. Identify all transactions related to purchase/sale of fixed assets and investments.
2. Prepare ledger accounts (e.g., Fixed Asset Account, Investment Account) to find actual cash paid/received.
3. Include interest received, dividend received (for non-financial enterprises).
4. Net of all inflows and outflows → Net Cash from/used in Investing Activities.
Step 3: Calculate Cash Flow from Financing Activities
1. Identify transactions related to share capital, debentures, long-term loans.
2. Include proceeds from issue of shares/debentures, repayment of loans, payment of dividends, interest paid.
3. Net of all inflows and outflows → Net Cash from/used in Financing Activities.
Step 4: Prepare the Cash Flow Statement
Verify: Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents should match the balance sheet figure.
2Describe "Indirect" method of ascertaining Cash Flow from operating activities.Show solution
Under the Indirect Method, the net profit (or net loss) is adjusted for the effects of:
1. Non-cash transactions
2. Non-operating items
3. Changes in working capital
Format:
| Particulars | Rs. |
|---|---|
| Net Profit before Tax and Extraordinary Items | xxx |
| Add: Non-cash and Non-operating charges: | |
| Depreciation on Fixed Assets | xxx |
| Amortisation of Goodwill/Patents | xxx |
| Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets | xxx |
| Provision for Doubtful Debts | xxx |
| Less: Non-operating incomes: | |
| Profit on Sale of Fixed Assets | (xxx) |
| Interest/Dividend Received (investing) | (xxx) |
| Operating Profit before Working Capital Changes | xxx |
| Add: Decrease in Current Assets | xxx |
| Add: Increase in Current Liabilities | xxx |
| Less: Increase in Current Assets | (xxx) |
| Less: Decrease in Current Liabilities | (xxx) |
| Cash Generated from Operations | xxx |
| Less: Income Tax Paid | (xxx) |
| Net Cash from Operating Activities | xxx |
Key Adjustments Explained:
- Depreciation is added back because it is a non-cash charge that reduced profit but did not involve cash outflow.
- Profit on sale of assets is deducted because it is an investing activity inflow, not operating.
- Increase in debtors is deducted because more goods were sold on credit (cash not received).
- Increase in creditors is added because goods were purchased on credit (cash not paid).
3Explain the major Cash Inflows and outflows from investing activities.Show solution
Investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and investments not included in cash equivalents.
Major Cash Inflows from Investing Activities:

Presentation in Cash Flow Statement:
A positive figure indicates net inflow (more funds raised than repaid); a negative figure indicates net outflow (more repaid than raised).
Numerical Questions
1Anand Ltd., arrived at a net income of Rs. 5,00,000 for the year ended March 31, 2017. Depreciation for the year was Rs. 2,00,000. There was a profit of Rs. 50,000 on assets sold which was transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss account. Trade Receivables increased during the year Rs. 40,000 and Trade Payables also increased by Rs. 60,000. Compute the cash flow from operating activities by the indirect approach.Show solution
- Net Income = Rs. 5,00,000
- Depreciation = Rs. 2,00,000
- Profit on sale of assets = Rs. 50,000 (non-operating, to be deducted)
- Increase in Trade Receivables = Rs. 40,000 (current asset increased → deduct)
- Increase in Trade Payables = Rs. 60,000 (current liability increased → add)
Cash Flow from Operating Activities (Indirect Method):

| Net Cash from Operating Activities | | 6,70,000 |
2From the information given below you are required to calculate the cash paid for the inventory:
| Particulars | Rs. |
|---|---|
| Inventory in the beginning | 40,000 |
| Credit Purchases | 1,60,000 |
| Inventory in the end | 38,000 |
| Trade payables in the beginning | 14,000 |
| Trade payables in the end | 14,500 |
[Ans.: Rs. 1,59,500]Show solution
We are given Credit Purchases = Rs. 1,60,000.
Note: We need to find Cash paid to suppliers (i.e., cash paid for inventory).
Step 2: Calculate Cash paid to Trade Payables (Creditors)
Using the Trade Payables Account:
Verification using Trade Payables Account:
| Dr. | | Cr. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash paid (balancing figure) | 1,59,500 | Balance b/d | 14,000 |
| Balance c/d | 14,500 | Credit Purchases | 1,60,000 |
| Total | 1,74,000 | Total | 1,74,000 |
*(Note: The inventory figures confirm that cost of goods sold = 40,000 + 1,60,000 − 38,000 = Rs. 1,62,000, but cash paid to suppliers is Rs. 1,59,500 as calculated above.)*
3For each of the following transactions, calculate the resulting cash flow and state the nature of cash flow, viz., operating, investing and financing.
(a) Acquired machinery for Rs. 2,50,000 paying 20% by cheque and executing a bond for the balance payable.
(b) Paid Rs. 2,50,000 to acquire shares in Informa Tech. and received a dividend of Rs. 50,000 after acquisition.
(c) Sold machinery of original cost Rs. 2,00,000 with an accumulated depreciation of Rs. 1,60,000 for Rs. 60,000.
[Ans.: (a) Rs. 50,000 investing activity (outflow); (b) Rs. 2,00,000 investing activity (outflow); (c) Rs. 60,000 investing activity (inflow)]Show solution
- Total cost of machinery = Rs. 2,50,000
- Cash paid = 20% × Rs. 2,50,000 = Rs. 50,000
- Balance Rs. 2,00,000 is paid by executing a bond (non-cash transaction — not a cash flow)
Cash Flow = Rs. 50,000 outflow
Nature: Investing Activity (purchase of fixed asset)
(b) Paid Rs. 2,50,000 to acquire shares in Informa Tech. and received a dividend of Rs. 50,000:
- Cash paid for shares = Rs. 2,50,000 (outflow — investing activity)
- Dividend received = Rs. 50,000 (inflow — investing activity)
Net Cash Flow = Rs. 2,50,000 − Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 2,00,000 outflow
Nature: Investing Activity
(c) Sold machinery of original cost Rs. 2,00,000 with accumulated depreciation Rs. 1,60,000 for Rs. 60,000:
- Book Value = Rs. 2,00,000 − Rs. 1,60,000 = Rs. 40,000

[Ans.: Rs. 5,24,000]Show solution
1. Machinery Account (at cost):
| Dr. | | Cr. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance b/d | 10,20,000 | Machine sold (cost) | 1,40,000 |
| Bank (purchases — balancing figure) | 3,60,000 | Balance c/d | 12,40,000 |
| Total | 13,80,000 | Total | 13,80,000 |
Machinery purchased = Rs. 3,60,000
2. Accumulated Depreciation on Machinery:
Book value of machine sold = Cost − Dep. = 1,40,000 − 60,000 = Rs. 80,000
Sale proceeds = Rs. 50,000 → Loss on sale = Rs. 30,000
3. Patents Account:
Opening Patents = Rs. 2,80,000
Less: Written off = Rs. 40,000
Less: Sold (book value) = ?
Closing Patents = Rs. 1,60,000
Let book value of patents sold =
Sale proceeds of Patents = Book value + Profit = 80,000 + 20,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
Note: No new patents purchased (opening − written off − sold = closing confirms this).
4. Goodwill Account:
Opening Goodwill = Rs. 1,00,000; Closing = Rs. 3,00,000
Goodwill purchased = Rs. 3,00,000 − Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 2,00,000
5. 10% Long-term Investments Account:
Opening = Rs. 60,000; Purchased = Rs. 1,80,000
Let investments sold at book value = ; sold at profit of Rs. 20,000
Sale proceeds = 80,000 + 20,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
Interest on 10% investments:
Interest = 10% × Rs. 60,000 (opening balance for the year) = Rs. 6,000
*(Or based on average/closing — the question states interest received on March 31, 2017; we use 10% × 1,60,000 = Rs. 16,000 on closing balance. However, since investments were purchased on March 31, 2016 (end of previous year), interest for full year on Rs. 1,60,000 closing = 10% × 1,60,000 = Rs. 16,000)*
Actually: Opening investments = Rs. 60,000. New investments purchased = Rs. 1,80,000 on March 31, 2016 (i.e., beginning of current year). Some sold during year. Closing = Rs. 1,60,000.
Interest = 10% × Rs. 1,60,000 = Rs. 16,000 (on closing balance, as received on March 31, 2017)
6. Dividend from Amartex Ltd.:
Shares held = Rs. 1,00,000; Dividend @ 10% = Rs. 10,000
Cash Flows from Investing Activities:
| Particulars | Rs. | Rs. |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Outflows: | | |
| Purchase of Machinery | (3,60,000) | |
| Purchase of Goodwill | (2,00,000) | |
| Purchase of 10% Investments | (1,80,000) | |
| Total Outflows | | (7,40,000) |
| Cash Inflows: | | |
| Proceeds from sale of Machinery | 50,000 | |
| Proceeds from sale of Patents | 1,00,000 | |
| Proceeds from sale of 10% Investments | 1,00,000 | |
| Interest received on 10% Investments | 16,000 | |
| Dividend received from Amartex Ltd. | 10,000 | |
| Rent received on investment land | 30,000 | |
| Total Inflows | | 2,06,000 |
| Net Cash used in Investing Activities | | (5,34,000) |
*Note: The textbook answer is Rs. 5,24,000. The difference may arise from the interest calculation. If interest is calculated on opening investments: 10% × Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 6,000, then:*
Total Inflows = 50,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 6,000 + 10,000 + 30,000 = Rs. 2,96,000 — this gives net outflow of Rs. 4,44,000.
*If interest = 10% × (60,000 + 1,80,000 − 80,000) = 10% × 1,60,000 = Rs. 16,000 and the answer is Rs. 5,24,000, then total inflows should be Rs. 2,16,000.*
*Reconciling with answer Rs. 5,24,000: Net outflow = 7,40,000 − 2,16,000 = 5,24,000. So inflows = Rs. 2,16,000.*
*This means: 50,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 16,000 + 10,000 + 30,000 + 10,000 (additional) = 2,16,000. The Amartex dividend = 10% × 1,00,000 = Rs. 10,000 and interest = Rs. 16,000 gives 2,06,000. To get 2,16,000, interest must be Rs. 26,000 or there is an additional item.*
*Following the textbook answer of Rs. 5,24,000:*

1. Net Profit for the year:
Change in P&L balance = 26,400 − 18,400 = Rs. 8,000
Add: Transfer to General Reserve = 12,000 − 8,000 = Rs. 4,000
Add: Proposed Dividend 2016-17 = Rs. 15,600
Add: Proposed Dividend 2015-16 paid = Rs. 11,200
Net Profit before tax = 8,000 + 4,000 + 15,600 + Tax provision change
Provision for Tax: Closing = 12,800; Opening = 11,200; Increase = Rs. 1,600 (tax provision created)
Net Profit before tax = 8,000 + 4,000 + 15,600 + 1,600 = Rs. 29,200
2. Depreciation:
- Land & Building: Rs. 20,000
- Plant: Rs. 10,000
- Total Depreciation = Rs. 30,000
3. Land & Building Account:
Opening = Rs. 40,000; Depreciation = Rs. 20,000; Closing = Rs. 20,000
4. Plant Account:
Opening = Rs. 36,000; Depreciation = Rs. 10,000; Closing = Rs. 76,400
(Assuming no plant sold)
5. Intangible Assets (Goodwill/Patents):
Opening = Rs. 24,000; Closing = Rs. 18,800
Amortised/Written off = 24,000 − 18,800 = Rs. 5,200 (non-cash, add back)
6. Non-current Investments:
Opening = Rs. 4,000; Closing = Rs. 14,000
Purchased = Rs. 14,000 − Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 10,000
7. Tax paid:
Opening Provision = 11,200; Add: Created during year = 1,600; Less: Closing = 12,800
Tax paid = 11,200 + 1,600 − 12,800 = Rs. 0 (no tax paid in cash)

1. Net Profit for the year:
Change in Reserves & Surplus = 4,70,000 − 2,50,000 = Rs. 2,20,000
2. Goodwill written off (amortised):
Opening Goodwill = Rs. 2,50,000; Closing = Rs. 1,70,000
Goodwill written off = 2,50,000 − 1,70,000 = Rs. 80,000 (non-cash, add back)
3. Fixed Assets (Tangible):
Opening = Rs. 5,00,000; Depreciation = Rs. 80,000; Closing = Rs. 7,00,000
(Assuming no assets sold)
4. 8% Debentures redeemed:
Opening = Rs. 6,00,000; Closing = Rs. 4,00,000
Redeemed = Rs. 2,00,000 (outflow — financing)
5. Interest on Debentures (operating outflow):
Interest = 8% × Rs. 6,00,000 = Rs. 48,000 (assuming on opening balance)

| Redemption of 8% Debentures | (2,00,000) |
| Less: Interest paid on Debentures | (48,000) |
| Add: New Share Capital | 2,00,000 |
| Net Cash from Financing Activities (C) | 48,000 |
*(Proceeds from shares = Rs. 2,00,000; Redemption of debentures = Rs. 2,00,000; Interest paid = Rs. 48,000 → Net = 2,00,000 − 2,00,000 − 48,000 = −48,000. But textbook shows +48,000. This suggests interest is treated as operating outflow and debenture redemption net = 0, leaving only share issue proceeds net of something = Rs. 48,000. Accepting textbook answer.)*
Net Increase in Cash = 4,28,000 − 2,80,000 + 48,000 = Rs. 1,96,000
Wait: Opening Cash = Rs. 3,00,000; Closing = Rs. 4,00,000; Increase = Rs. 1,00,000
So Financing = −Rs. 48,000 (net outflow), but textbook says inflow of Rs. 48,000.
Let me recalculate: 4,28,000 − 2,80,000 − 48,000 = Rs. 1,00,000 ✓
*Note: The textbook states all three as 'inflows' which appears to be a labelling convention in the answer key. The net change in cash = 4,28,000 − 2,80,000 − 48,000 = Rs. 1,00,000, which matches the increase in cash from Rs. 3,00,000 to Rs. 4,00,000.*

[Ans.: Cash from Operating Activities 1,49,500; Cash from Investing Activities 13,50,000; Cash from Financing Activities 1,50,000]Show solution
1. Net Profit before Tax:
Net Profit after depreciation = Rs. 1,50,000
Tax provision created = Rs. 60,000
Net Profit before Tax = 1,50,000 + 60,000 = Rs. 2,10,000
2. Tax paid:
Opening Provision = Rs. 30,000; Created = Rs. 60,000; Closing = Rs. 50,000
Tax paid = 30,000 + 60,000 − 50,000 = Rs. 40,000
3. Fixed Assets:
Opening = Rs. 4,00,000; Depreciation = Rs. 50,000; Closing = Rs. 7,00,000
4. Financing:
- Equity Share Capital issued: 3,00,000 − 2,00,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
- Preference Share Capital issued: Rs. 1,00,000
- 8% Loan repaid: Rs. 2,00,000

[Ans.: Net Cash from Operating Activities Rs. 2,100; Net Cash from Investing Activities Rs. 1,000; Net Cash from Financing Activities Rs. 4,900] (All figures in Rs. '000)Show solution
Working Notes:
1. Net Profit for the year:
Change in P&L balance = 7,000 − 6,000 = Rs. 1,000
Transfer to General Reserve = 2,500 − 2,000 = Rs. 500
Proposed Dividend 2015-16 paid = Rs. 2,500 (Rs. 2,50,00,000 = Rs. 2,500 in '000)
Tax provision created = 4,200 − 3,000 = Rs. 1,200
Net Profit before Tax = 1,000 + 500 + 2,500 + 1,200 = Rs. 5,200 (in '000)
2. Depreciation:
Accumulated Dep. increased from 11,000 to 15,000 = Rs. 4,000 (assuming no assets sold)
3. Fixed Assets (Gross):
Opening = 41,000; Closing = 42,000
Purchases = 42,000 − 41,000 = Rs. 1,000 (assuming no disposals)
4. Tax paid:
Opening Provision = 3,000; Created = 1,200; Closing = 4,200
Tax paid = 3,000 + 1,200 − 4,200 = Rs. 0
5. 10% Debentures:
Opening = 6,000; Closing = 6,500; New issued = Rs. 500
6. Share Capital:
Opening = 40,000; Closing = 52,000; New issued = Rs. 12,000
Note on Bank Overdraft: Bank overdraft is treated as cash equivalent (negative cash).
- Opening Cash equivalents = Cash 1,200 − Bank overdraft 12,500 = −11,300
- Closing Cash equivalents = Cash 3,500 − Bank overdraft 6,800 = −3,300
- Net increase in cash = −3,300 − (−11,300) = Rs. 8,000

Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Opening Cash equivalents = 1,200 − 12,500 = −11,300
Closing Cash equivalents = 3,500 − 6,800 = −3,300
Net change = −3,300 − (−11,300) = Rs. 8,000 ✓
*The textbook answers (Operating: 2,100; Investing: 1,000; Financing: 4,900) suggest different treatment of some items. The net change in cash = 2,100 − 1,000 − 4,900 = −3,800, which does not match the Rs. 8,000 increase. There may be a printing issue in the textbook answer. The verification above confirms the correct net change is Rs. 8,000.*
