Workings & Explanation
The Statement of Cash Flows is prepared using the indirect method as per IAS 7. This approach starts with net profit before tax and adjusts for non-cash items and working capital changes to arrive at net cash from operating activities.
W1 – Depreciation:
Opening Acc. Depreciation = $4,800k
Closing Acc. Depreciation = $5,600k
Depreciation charge = $5,600 + $300 (disposal) – $4,800 = $1,100k
However, since the asset sold had accumulated depreciation of $450k (800 – 350), only $800k is depreciation for current assets.
W2 – Loss on Disposal:
Asset cost = $800k
Carrying amount = $350k
Proceeds = $500k
Loss = $350k – $500k = ($150k) loss
W3 – Tax Paid:
Income tax expense = $700k, assume fully paid (since no tax liability shown)
Non-current asset purchases:
Closing carrying amount = $5,400k
Opening = $3,200k
Add: Asset sold (cost = 800, Acc. Dep = 450, NBV = 350)
Adjusted opening = $3,200 + $350 = $3,550
Add depreciation = $800
Hence, purchases = $5,400 – $3,550 – $800 = $3,000k
Cash and equivalents dropped from $100k to $400k, indicating a net decrease of $300k, matching the cash flow net change.
This cash flow reflects how operating profitability (mainly through retained earnings and depreciation) funded investing (new assets) and financing (loan and dividends).
