I’m stuck on cash flows- please help!
BPP taught me to copy there statement of cash flow template onto my answer booklet, as well as their workings for Assets, Equity, Liabilities and Working capital.
However, whenever I attempt the question I have different headings or no headings at all where things should go.
How do you all answer these cashflow questions, do you write out your templates before you answer the question or do you just stick down roough headings for Cash flow from operations, investing and financing and then fill them in as you go along?
I just do the main headings – then stick in as I go as not all the things come up – start with cash change then work from top
i am crap at cash flows, and hate them, and for this reason i am certain it will be the 30 mark question this year 🙁
so i am trying to get better at them.
i am just trying to get the easy marks to start with and then fill in what i can.
cashflow from operating
profit before tax
add adj:
depn
profit/loss on disposal
operating cycle (rec, inv, payables)
tax chargecashflow from investing
purchase of ppe
proceeds of sale of equipcashflow from financing
divs paid
long term borrowings
share capital/premiumnet increase of cashflow
cash @ begining
cash @ endthis will be the proforma i set out with plenty of room left for additional lines. hopefully if i can get most of those numbers in then that should give me 6 or 7 marks and then just hope to pick up a few more.
