    Operating activities, add back depreciation expense of 2,500 (given) and deduct profit on disposal 4,100 (8,100 – 4,000)

    Investing activities: proceeds of asset disposal 8,100 inflow (given), purchase of TNCA 8,300 outflow (given)

    Is that ok?

    Sir,
    thank you sir, but one thing again. what about the new finance lease addition. are we to treat it as loan and under financing activity or we capitalized and treat it as an asset.

    More clarity.

    The new asset cost will be needed to be taken into account for the purposes of calculating the cash cost of new assets purchased. The new asset itself has NOT been paid for using cash so the double entry to record the newly finance leased asset will be to Dr TNCA and Cr Finance Lease Creditor account and then payments to the finance lease creditor (capital element only) will appear as an outflow in financing activities whereas the finance lease interest will be included within interest paid in operating activities

    You need the capitalised figure in your workings because the cash price of the newly finance leased asset accounts for some of the movement in the TNCA figures though the newly f-l asset itself does not involve cash

    Is that ok?

    Good morning sir,

    Thank you for the clarification.
    Sir, still in the same question (iii). it is said there was a bonus issue funded from the share premium account and some of revaluation reserves and the rest for cash at par.
    In the question, equity shares of $1 b/f 8000, c/f 14000, which means there was a bonus issue of 6000 shares. at par ie $6000.which in my workings I thought of that to be an inflow. but when I referred to the sample answer at the end of my working, I realised that it was solved as follows: 6000- 2000- 1600= 2400 as cash inflow.
    Sir kindly explain the reasoning behind this working.

    thank you once more,

    If it’s funded part by share premium, part by revaluation and part by cash, how much CASH is involved?

    Not having the question in front of me, I assume that the balance on the share premium account was 2,000 and the balance on the revaluation reserve was 1,600

    So, to issue the bonus shares, here’s the double entry:

    Dr Share Premium account 2,000
    Dr Revaluation Reserve 1,600
    Dr Cash 2,400
    Cr Share Capital 6,000

    Now, ask yourself “How much CASH is involved in that transaction”

    OK?
