Statement of Cashflows

Mmansoor10y ago
there is a question in bpp f7 text on cashflow statement. its a worked example. i have worked out everything but i cant understand where he gets his opening cash/cash equivalent figure he has a figure of (97). and while playing with numbers, the only thing i cd come up with is that he has taken the cash balance plus the bank OD. ----------------------------x2--------x1 short term invest-------50--------Nil Cash-----------------------2 ------- 1 under current liabilities he has: bank OD ----------------85---------98 so 98-1=97 i guess if we have OD, is that always deducted from cash in hand to get the final cash figures??

Not necessarily always though I have to admit that I ALWAYS treat the overdraft as "Cash and cash equivalents" I'm told that, in practice, it's sometimes treated as Financing but, as I just said, I ALWAYS treat it as C + CE
