      I didn’t!

      I subtracted it from the profit in order to get the ‘cash’ profit (the profit figure at the moment includes the profit on sale, which is a book profit and not cash).

    Dear Mr. Moffat

    I still concern about some points related to preparing cash flow statement, but i do not know if they are correct. Kindly help explain them for me.

    effect on profit effect on cash adjustment on
    cash flow stmt
    ——— ———- ————
    1. allowance for rcvbl decrease no no need adjustment as
    bad debs (as those items
    already adjusted in increase/
    decrease in receivable)
    2. bad debts subsequently
    paid increase increase no need adjustment

    3. accruals and provision decrease no add back to profit

    4. prepayment no decrease deduct from profit
    (however, In the text book, cash advance to other parties is treated as investing activities. If prepayment made to suppliers is also treated as investing activities)

    Thanks a lot for your time!

      Dear Sir

      (pls ignore the previous comment as it is not well presented, I rewrite as follows)

      I still concern about some points related to preparing cash flow statement, but i do not know if they are correct. Kindly help explain them for me.

      1. allowance for rcvbl: decrease in profit, NO effect on cash–> no need adjustment as bad debts (as those items already adjusted in increase/ decrease in receivable)

      2. bad debts subsequently paid: increase in profit, increase in cash –> no need adjustment

      3. accruals and provision: decrease in profit, no effect on cash –> add back to profit

      4. prepayment: no effect on profit, decrease in cash –> deduct from profit
      (however, In the text book, cash advance to other parties is treated as investing activities. If prepayment made to suppliers is also treated as investing activities)

        You must ask this sort of question in the Ask the Tutor Forum – not as a comment on a lecture.

        The proceeds from the sale are cash flows from investing activities.

        (But the profit or loss on sale needs adjusting for in arriving at the cash flow from operations)
