Share issue proceeds 1,100 Payments to finance lease creditors 2,200 Does that agree with the solution?

there's no solution for these questions, I'm afraid. I can see now how you arrived at 1,100, but why 2,200? we paid only 1,200 (1,000+200) on lease liabilities, I believe.

Put both brought forward liabilities into the credit side of a single T account (4,000 and 2,000) Put both carry forward liabilities into the debit side of the same T account (3,000 and 1,800) Put into the credit side of that same T account the 1,000 new finance lease liability That gives us credits of 7,000 and debits of 4,800 - a missing figure on e debit side of 2,200 That entry MUST have been Dr Finance Lease Liabilities 2,200 Cr Cash 2,200 Ok?

yeah, now I see !!! thank you so much, I think I'll try to employ T account in all my cash flow calculations now :)

That's a good idea. Last time I taught in your area (Uzbekistan) I remember telling the students that really the only time I found T accounts of immense value was in Cash Flow questions. It is possible to do without - of course it is - but if there's any tiny element of doubt, then open a T account
