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.

But there is no entry into the cashflows from financing Activities for part (e).

Of course there is!!! 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!
