Operating cash flow = 15,500; Investing = (37,500) for fixed assets purchased; Financing = +20,000 (shares 20,000 + overdraft 10,000 − dividend 10,000). Net decrease in cash = 2,000 (3,000 → 1,000).

Workings

  • Net profit before tax = increase in P&L 5,000 + transfer to General Reserve 12,500 + current year's proposed dividend 5,000 = 22,500.
  • Goodwill written off = 30,000 − 20,000 = 10,000 (non-cash, added back).
  • Fixed assets purchased = 83,500 − 46,000 = 37,500.
  • Previous year's proposed dividend 10,000 paid during the year (financing outflow).
  • Bank overdraft increase 25,000 − 15,000 = 10,000 treated as short-term borrowing (financing inflow); cash & cash equivalents = Cash in Hand only.
