    Question. 19.4 F3kit:
    EMMA
    STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 DECEMBER
    20X2 20X1
    $’000 $’000
    Non-current assets Tangible assets 380 305
    Intangible assets 250 200
    Investments – 25
    630 530

    The following information is available.
    (a) The proceeds of the sale of non-current asset investments amounted to $30,000.
    (b) Fixtures and fittings, with an original cost of $85,000 and a carrying amount of $45,000, were sold for
    $32,000 during the year.
    (c) The current asset investments fall within the definition of cash equivalents under IAS 7.
    (d) The following information relates to property, plant and equipment.
    31.12.20X2 31.12.20X1
    $’000 $’000
    Cost 720 595
    Accumulated depreciation 340 290
    Carrying amount 380 305
    (e) 50,000 $1 ordinary shares were issued during the year at a premium of 20c per share.

    Solution:
    profit before taxation 300
    Adjustments for:
    Depreciation (W1) 90
    Loss on sale for non-current assets (45–32) 13
    Profit on sale of non-current asset investments (5)
    Interest received (25)
    Interest expense 75
    Operating profit before working capital changes 448
    Increase in inventories (48)
    Increase in receivables (75)
    Increase in payables 8
    Cash generated from operations 333
    Interest paid (75)
    Income taxes paid (W2) (190)
    Net cash from operating activities 68

    Cash flows from investing activities
    Purchase of intangible non-current assets (50)
    Purchase of tangible non-current assets (W3) (201)
    Receipts from sale of non-current assets (32+30) 62

    Cash flows from financing activities
    Proceeds from issue of share capital 60
    Long-term loan 100
    160
    Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 64…

    I don’t understand the profit on the disposal of intangible asset of $5 and the purcahse of intangible asset of $50.??
    And why the issue of capital was not included in the statement of cashflow?

    Please do not type out whole questions like this – it is breach of BPP’s copyright. I have the BPP Revision Kit so all you need to do is give the number of the question.

    1. There is no profit on the disposal of intangible assets. It is profit on the sale of non-current asset investments. Note (a) says they were sold for 30,000. On last years SOFP they were 25,000. So there was a profit on sale of 5,000.

    2. Intangible assets were 250 last year and are 300 this year. Therefore there have been purchases of the difference of 50.

    3. The issue of share capital is included in the statement. It appears under ‘cash flows from financing activities as 60 (the change in share capital plus the change in share premium.

    I suggest that you watch my free lectures on statements of cash flows. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F3 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    I have the question and answer in front of me, and under ‘cash flows from financing activities’ there is 60,000 for issue of shares!
