Brought forward 46 + 117 - 54 = 109 Carried forward 143 + 29 - 132 = 40 Does that agree with the printed solution?

Your post says: "The current asset investment are government bond and management has decided to class them as cash equivalent" So that's why I used the investment bond - it's a cash equivalent and the questions you asked were for "Cash and cash equivalent b/f" and "Cash and cash equivalent c/f" Am I not correct that only part of the investment in example 6 was a cash equivalent?

i want to know in the statement of cash flow under operating activity, on which basis do we account for the cash flow income - based on cash basis (means until we receive cash in hand we won't account for the income) expense - based on acrual basis i am just trying to be sure,sir

A statement of cash flow attempts to take the accruals-based results of an entity and convert those results into cash-based figures So we start with "Profit before tax" which is obviously an accruals-based figure and we convert it into cash-based figures Does that answer your question?
