    I am doing a cashflow question and under current asset

    Balance sheet extract

    Current Asset

    2001 2002

    0 50

    notes states the current asset investment is a 30 day government bond.

    how do I treat this is the cash flow statement

    Because it’s less than 30 days to maturity you should treat it as an element of cash and cash equivalents, down at the bottom of the statement of cash flows

    Ok?

    Should I treat it as an inflow. It is a current asset so I am wondering if its an outflow.

    It’s neither! It’s to be added in to the closing “Cash and cash equivalents” figure to be carried forward.

    It’s included within the very last line in the statement of cash flows

    Ok?
