    Dear Tutor:
    would you please help me this question if you get time?
    Consolidated Disposal Aquisition Cashflow
    Decrease in Inventories 39.00 30.00 -16.00 53 ?
    Increase in trade receivables -7.00 27.00 -21.00 -1 ?
    Increase in trade payables 18.00 36.00 -23.00 31

    Cash flow for inventory (the question mark ) seems to be wrong! I copy its answer from acca website CBE qestion : Moyes Group.

    I checked the text book (Karplan) it shows the same example.
    I follow that example to deal with Moyes:

    Decrease in Inventories 39: Bal c/f 0; Bal b/f 39
    Increase in trade receivables 7: Bal c/f 7; Bal b/f 0
    Increase in trade payables 18: Bal c/f 18; Bal b/f 0
    Inventories receivables payables
    Bal c/f 0 7 18
    Bal b/f (39) ( 0 ) ( 0 )
    Net of Bal (39) 7 18

    Less: Sub acquired (16) (21) (23)
    Add: Sub disposed 30 27 36

    Movement in the year (25) 13 31
    Decrease Increase Increase
    Impact on cash flow Inflow Outflow Inflow

    So, based on this textbook’s example, I calculate the different results.

    Would you please help me which one is right? many thanks

    I’m afraid that I cannot make any sense of these numbers. Perhaps the examples are slightly different (as the tuition providers sometimes update questions in different ways).

    As stated earlier I cannot tell. but I suspect that the questions are very slightly different.

    Sorry I can’t be of more help.
