Answer 1

Step 1: Start with Net Profit Net Profit = ₹3,40,000 Add non-cash expenses: \[ \text{Depreciation} = 60,000 \] \[ \text{Goodwill written off} = 2,000 \] \[ \text{Operating Profit before WC changes} = 3,40,000 + 62,000 = 4,02,000 \] Step 2: Adjust Changes in Current Assets Increase in current asset → Deduct Decrease → Add Trade receivables increase = 1,000 (Deduct) Inventory increase = 30,000 (Deduct) Prepaid insurance increase = 5,000 (Deduct) Accrued interest increase = 10,000 (Deduct) Other current assets increase = 20,000 (Deduct) Total deduction = 66,000 Step 3: Adjust Changes in Current Liabilities Increase → Add Decrease → Deduct Trade payables increase = 20,000 (Add) Outstanding salary increase = 15,000 (Add) Rent received in advance decrease = 10,000 (Deduct) Net addition = 25,000 Step 4: Cash from Operations \[ 4,02,000 - 66,000 + 25,000 \] \[ = 3,61,000 \] Cash from Operations = ₹3,61,000
