How do we solve this??
A company has the following info.about property,plant and equipment.
2007. 2006
Cost. 750. 600
Acc.dep. 250 150
Carryn.amt (250) (150)
A plant wth a carryn amt of $75(original cost of $90) was sold for $30 during the year.
What is the cashflow from investing activities during the year?
You have either copied the question wrong, or the question itself was typed wrong. The carrying value at the beginning and end of the year should be the cost minus the accumulated depreciation – and it is not!!!
However, since the cost was 600 at the start of the year and plant with a cost of 90 was sold, this brings the cost down to 510. Therefore there must have been purchases of assets of 750 – 510 = 240.
So the cash flow from investing activities is an outflow of 240 – 30 = 210.
Which method to be stdied for the exam? Direct or indirect?
You are expected to know both methods. However most of any calculation questions will be on indirect method.
why don’t we add back bad-debt in inderect mothod . . . . .. as it is non cash item
No it isn’t – an irrecoverable debt is where we have received less cash (because the receivable is not paying).
The only non cash items you will see in F3 are depreciation and profit or loss on the sale of non-current assets.
hi, i am a bit puzzled as to why would we add back profit and not just leave it netted off if it isn’t a cash flow……. by me adding back wouldn’t I have the profit included in the calculation when really it should be excluded?
We are not adding back profit – we are trying to convert the accounting profit into a cash ‘profit’ by (for example) adding back the depreciation expense because although it makes the accounting profit lower, it does not involve paying out cash.
I am assuming you are referring to adding back the profit on sale to the expenses.
Just suppose there was a profit on sale of 20 and other expenses of 100. Since the question says that the profit had been netted off against expenses, it would mean that in the profit statement there would be a net expense of 80. However the profit on sale is not a cash item and so if we add the 20 to the 80 we get the cash expenses of 100.
Kindly explain why the following things have been subtracted and added from Dist. and Admin?
Dist. and Admin 120,000
less: Depcn (36,000)
less: Bad Debts (14,000)
less: Employment Costs (42,000)
Add: Profit on Sale 6,000
$ 34,000
Depreciation is removed because it is not a cash flow.
Irrecoverable debts are removed because they are dealt with in calculating the cash received from customers.
Employment costs are removed because they are shown separately when using the direct method.
Profit on sale is added back because it is not a cash flow.
Thank you.
You are welcome
how do we solve these type of questions?????
Turbot Co had the following changes in its share capital and non-current liabilities during the year.
A bonus issue of shares with a nominal value of $84,000
A rights issue of shares with proceeds of $144,000
A repayment of a $96,000 long-term loan
What net amount would appear under the cash flows from financing activities heading in the Statement of Cash Flows?
$48,000 net inflow
$132,000 net inflow
$228,000 net inflow
$96,000 net outflow
48000 net inflow. the bonus issue is a non cash item so would not affect the cashflow.
thank u
Bonus issue of shares will also increase the cash by nominal value
whitemagician:
A bonus issue will not affect the cash at all and will not appear in the Statement of cash flows.
A bonus issue is an issue of shares free of charge – no cash is received.
Abdullah khan’s answer is correct.
Thank you sir. But I heard that the nominal value must be paid by the company itself or by the shareholders
Whitemagician: I don’t know where you heard that, but it is wrong.
Bonus issues are issues of free shares – nobody pays for them.
We increase the share capital and decrease the share premium by the amount of the bonus issue (the nominal/par value). No cash at all is received.
You should watch the free lecture on this
Thank you for correcting my misconception
48000 net inflow
I think net inflows will be $132,000 because bonus issue will increase the cash by nominal value
Whitemajician: No. See what I wrote above – a bonus issue does not result in a cash flow (they are free shares).
Any one help me how answer is 890000 and not 990000:
11. In the course of preparing a company’s Statement of Cash Flows, the following figures are to be included in the calculation of net cash from operating activities:
$
Depreciation charges
980,000
Profit on sale of non-current assets
40,000
Increase in inventories
130,000
Decrease in receivables
100,000
Increase in payables
80,000
What will be the net effect of these items in the Statement of Cash Flows?
addition to operating profit of $1,070,000
subtraction from operating profit of $890,000
addition to operating profit of $990,000
addition to operating profit of $890,000
Thank you.
Add: Depreciation 980000
Less: Profit on sale (40,000)
————-
940,000
Less: Inc. in receivables 0000000
(What we have there was a decrease)
Less: Inc in inventories (130,000)
Add: Increase in Payables 80,000
—————
890,000
—————
I hope I am right.Can someone please confirm this.
Shouldn’t the decrease in receivables be added to the net cash?
Add Depreciation 980
Less Profit on sale (40)
Add Decrease in receivable 100
Less increase in Inventory (130)
Add increase in Payables 80
Net 990
Mr. John can you explain please?
I don’t really get it when profit on sales is added back to calculate other cash payment under direct method. Can someone pls explain me? Thanks in advance.
@sengseng, i also did nt got y itz adding in cash flow????????
@sengseng, Note (b) of the question says that the profit on sale of the non-current asset has been netted of expenses (i.e. because it is a profit it has been treated as a negative expense – if it was not there then the total expenses would be higher).
Since the profit itself is not a cash flow, it is not relevant for the cash flow statement. If we remove this ‘negative expense’ then the remaining expense figure will be higher.
plz tell me why profit on sale of non-current assets is deducted?
@shahbaz963, let’s say that we sold a non-current asset of net book value of 20K for 30K. So the profit on disposal is 10K. In cash flow statement we are concerned about physical cash, not profits. So we deduct the profit of 10K, but then, in investing activities hedding, we add that very 30K that we actually recieved
i’m writing paper CAT 6/ FFA in December 2011, as meantioned by nosaj i would also like the lecturers to do one with the two years where u have to find the differences it would really help allot…keep up the good work and i’ll be waiting on your 2011 Dec notes….
