Hi John Could you please explain the following question. I am quite confused with this. The following amounts have been prepared for inclusion in the statement of cash flows of Bamboo: Tax and dividends paid $87,566 Increase in payables $13,899 Decrease in inventory $8,900 Redemption of loans $300,000 Increase in receivables $6,555 Reduction in cash and cash equivalents $3,211 Depreciation charge $10,600 Payments to acquire non?current assets $47,999 Proceeds from sale of non?current assets $13,100 What is the cash generated from operations?

Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers - they have answers and explanations. You know from the question what the change in cash and cash equivalents is (a reduction of $3,211). You know from the question what the cash generated from investing activities and from financing activities are, and so you can calculate the cash flows from operating activities as the 'missing figure'. You know what the tax and dividends paid are, so you can go from the cash flows from operating activities back to the cash generated from operations.
