    why we took 30% of profit instead of 8$ ? profit and cost both should be added to calculate revenue so, why examiner took 30% of 8$ to calculate revenue ?

    The examiner has not calculated the revenue as 30% at all.

    The revenue from food is $8 (from the question).
    Since the profit is 30% they must have costs of 70% of $8 = $5.60.

    So to get the cash flow you have the choice – either bring in the revenue of $8 as an inflow and the cost of $5.60 as an outflow, or alternatively do what the examiner has done and just bring in the net receipt of $2.40.

    The answer will be the same either way.

    The same applies to gifts.
