Q16 3 Marks

Define cash flow statement and state its objectives.

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash Flow Statement is a financial statement that shows the inflow and outflow of cash and cash equivalents during a period classified into three activities — operating investing and financing. Objectives: (1) Provide information about cash receipts and payments; (2) Show how the company has generated and used cash; (3) Help assess liquidity and solvency; (4) Help users predict future cash flows; (5) Show the relationship between profit and cash flow (net profit ≠ cash). Mandatory under AS-3 and Companies Act 2013 for companies above specified threshold.
Q17 3 Marks

Explain the three activities under which cash flows are classified.

View sample solutionHide solution
OPERATING activities: cash flows from primary revenue-generating activities — receipts from sales of goods/services; payments to suppliers; payments to and on behalf of employees; tax payments. INVESTING activities: cash flows from acquisition and disposal of non-current assets — purchase/sale of fixed assets investments and intangibles; loans given. FINANCING activities: cash flows that result in changes in size and composition of equity and borrowings — issue of shares debentures or borrowings; repayment of debt; payment of dividend interest. The three-way split reveals how the company is funded and where its money is going.
Q18 3 Marks

Distinguish between direct and indirect methods of preparing cash flow from operating activities.

View sample solutionHide solution
DIRECT METHOD: directly lists major classes of cash receipts and payments (cash from sales cash to suppliers cash to employees etc.). Provides clearer information but requires extensive cash book analysis. Less commonly used. INDIRECT METHOD: starts with net profit before tax and adjusts for: (a) non-cash items (depreciation amortisation); (b) operating items not affecting cash this period (changes in receivables payables inventories); (c) items shown elsewhere (interest dividend gain/loss on sale of fixed assets). More commonly used because it reconciles profit and cash flow. Indian companies typically use indirect method.
Q19 3 Marks

How is depreciation treated in the cash flow statement under indirect method?

View sample solutionHide solution
Depreciation is a NON-CASH expense — it reduces profit but does not involve cash outflow. Under the indirect method (which starts with net profit before tax) depreciation is ADDED BACK to profit to arrive at cash flow from operating activities. Treatment: Net Profit Before Tax + Depreciation + Amortisation + Loss on sale of fixed assets − Gain on sale of fixed assets ± changes in working capital items = Cash from Operating Activities. The same logic applies to other non-cash items.
Q20 3 Marks

Explain the treatment of interest paid and dividend paid in cash flow statement.

View sample solutionHide solution
Interest PAID: in case of NON-FINANCIAL companies — treated as FINANCING activity (cash outflow). For financial companies (banks NBFCs) — operating activity. Dividend PAID: always FINANCING activity (cash outflow to equity holders). Interest RECEIVED: NON-FINANCIAL — INVESTING activity; FINANCIAL — operating. Dividend RECEIVED: NON-FINANCIAL — INVESTING activity; FINANCIAL — operating. The rationale: interest and dividends are returns from/on capital — for non-financial companies these are not part of the main business. Indian standard AS-3 specifies these treatments.
Q21 3 Marks

What are cash and cash equivalents, and why are they important in a cash flow statement?

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments that are easily convertible to cash. They are important in a cash flow statement as they represent the liquidity of a company and its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Q22 3 Marks

Describe the significance of a cash flow statement for stakeholders in a business.

View sample solutionHide solution
A cash flow statement provides stakeholders, such as investors and creditors, with insights into a company's cash generation and usage. It helps assess the company's liquidity, financial health, and ability to generate cash for future growth.
Q23 3 Marks

What is the difference between cash flow from operating activities and cash flow from investing activities?

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash flow from operating activities refers to cash generated or used in the core business operations, while cash flow from investing activities involves cash transactions for the purchase or sale of long-term assets. Both are essential for understanding a company's overall cash position.
Q24 3 Marks

Explain how non-cash transactions are reported in a cash flow statement.

View sample solutionHide solution
Non-cash transactions, such as barter exchanges or depreciation, are not included in the cash flow statement as they do not affect cash. However, they may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements to provide additional context to stakeholders.
Q25 3 Marks

How do changes in working capital affect the cash flow from operating activities?

View sample solutionHide solution
Changes in working capital, such as increases in accounts receivable or inventory, can decrease cash flow from operating activities, while decreases in these accounts can increase cash flow. This reflects the cash impact of operational efficiency and management of current assets and liabilities.
Q26 6 Marks

Calculate Cash from Operating Activities (indirect method) from the following: Net Profit Before Tax ₹100000; Depreciation ₹20000; Loss on Sale of Asset ₹5000; Increase in Trade Receivables ₹15000; Decrease in Inventories ₹10000; Increase in Trade Payables ₹8000; Income Tax Paid ₹25000.

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash from Operating Activities (Indirect Method): Net Profit Before Tax 100000. ADD non-cash items: Depreciation 20000; Loss on sale of asset 5000. = 125000. Adjust for changes in working capital: Less Increase in Trade Receivables 15000; Add Decrease in Inventories 10000; Add Increase in Trade Payables 8000. = 125000 − 15000 + 10000 + 8000 = 128000. Less Income Tax Paid 25000. CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES = 128000 − 25000 = ₹103000. The adjustments convert accrual-based net profit to cash basis.
Q27 6 Marks

Compute Cash from Investing Activities from: Purchase of fixed assets ₹120000; Sale of investments ₹30000; Sale of fixed asset for ₹15000 (book value ₹20000); Interest received on investments ₹5000; Purchase of investments ₹40000.

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash from Investing Activities: Outflows — Purchase of fixed assets (120000); Purchase of investments (40000) = (160000). Inflows — Sale of investments 30000; Sale of fixed assets 15000; Interest received 5000 = 50000. NET CASH USED IN INVESTING = 50000 − 160000 = (110000). The loss on sale of fixed asset (book value 20000 − sale 15000 = ₹5000) does NOT enter investing activities directly — it was already added back to profit in operating activities (since it is a non-cash loss). Only the actual cash inflow ₹15000 from the sale enters investing.
Q28 6 Marks

Compute Cash from Financing Activities from: Proceeds from issue of equity shares ₹200000; Proceeds from debentures issue ₹100000; Repayment of long-term loan ₹50000; Dividend paid ₹40000; Interest paid ₹15000.

View sample solutionHide solution
Cash from Financing Activities: Inflows — Proceeds from issue of shares 200000; Proceeds from debentures 100000 = 300000. Outflows — Repayment of long-term loan (50000); Dividend paid (40000); Interest paid (15000) = (105000). NET CASH FROM FINANCING = 300000 − 105000 = ₹195000. Financing activities reflect changes in equity and long-term borrowings; the firm has raised ₹300000 in capital and used ₹105000 for repayments and distributions netting +₹195000 inflow.
Q29 6 Marks

Prepare a complete cash flow statement from the following: Operating activities — Net Profit Before Tax ₹150000, Depreciation ₹30000, Increase in receivables ₹25000, Decrease in inventories ₹15000, Tax paid ₹35000. Investing activities — Purchase of fixed assets ₹120000, Sale of investments ₹20000. Financing activities — Issue of shares ₹100000, Repayment of debentures ₹50000, Dividend paid ₹20000.

View sample solutionHide solution
CASH FLOW STATEMENT for the year ended 31 March 2024. (A) Operating: NP Before Tax 150000 + Depreciation 30000 = 180000; Less Increase in Receivables (25000); Add Decrease in Inventories 15000; = 170000. Less Tax paid (35000). Cash from Operating = 135000. (B) Investing: Purchase of fixed assets (120000) + Sale of investments 20000 = (100000). Cash used in Investing = (100000). (C) Financing: Issue of shares 100000 + Repayment of debentures (50000) + Dividend paid (20000) = 30000. Cash from Financing = 30000. Net increase in cash = 135000 − 100000 + 30000 = 65000. Add Opening cash balance + Net increase = Closing cash balance.
Q30 6 Marks

Explain the format of cash flow statement under indirect method and the treatment of various items.

View sample solutionHide solution
Format under indirect method (AS-3): I. CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES — start with NP Before Tax; ADD non-cash items (depreciation amortisation goodwill written off loss on sale of fixed asset); SUBTRACT non-operating items already included (gain on sale interest received dividend received); adjust for working capital changes (increase in current assets or decrease in current liabilities = subtract; opposite = add); subtract income tax paid. II. CASH FROM INVESTING — purchases and sales of fixed assets/investments; interest/dividend received (for non-financial companies). III. CASH FROM FINANCING — issue of shares debentures borrowings (inflows); repayment dividend interest paid (outflows). Net change = I + II + III; opening + net change = closing cash and cash equivalents.

Q51 3 Marks
The Cash Flow Statement is a financial report that provides a detailed analysis of what happened to a business's cash during a specific period. It breaks down cash flows into three main categories: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Cash flow from operating activities includes cash generated from the core business operations, while cash flow from investing activities reflects cash used for investments in assets and securities. Financing activities show the cash inflows and outflows related to borrowing and equity financing. The statement is crucial for assessing the liquidity and financial health of a business, as it highlights the cash available for operations and investments. Understanding cash flow is essential for stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding the company's financial performance and sustainability.

Show answersHide answers
1. Option 3 — Financing
2. Option 2 — Investing
3. Cash flows are classified into three categories per AS-3 to provide users with useful information about cash generation and use. Operating activities are the main revenue-generating activities — typically the largest source of cash for a healthy business. Investing activities reflect long-term capital deployment — purchases of fixed assets and investments are outflows; sales are inflows. Financing activities reflect changes in equity and long-term debt — raising capital is an inflow; repayment dividend interest are outflows. Net change in cash = Operating + Investing + Financing. The classification reveals how the firm has generated cash (operations vs financing) and what it has done with it (investments vs distributions).

  3. Why is loss on sale of asset added back in operating activities?
Show answersHide answers
1. Option 1 — Add to profit
2. Option 3 — Financing
3. Each item has specific treatment in the Cash Flow Statement. Non-cash items (depreciation amortisation goodwill written off) are added back to profit. Gain/loss on sale of fixed assets is non-operating — added back (loss) or subtracted (gain) from profit and the actual cash inflow goes to investing. Working capital changes: increase in current assets or decrease in current liabilities = subtracted (cash used); opposite = added. Interest received is investing; interest paid by non-financial co. is financing; for financial cos. (banks) interest is operating. Dividend paid is always financing. Following these rules ensures the Operating + Investing + Financing = Net change in cash = Closing − Opening cash.
