    Dear Sir, I have a question related to sample questions March/June 2017 which are at the ACCA website. I’m confused with task 31 a (ii) related to the calculation of overdraft as at the end of January.

    It is calculated that overdraft decreased due to working capital movements by 5,410.
    But net cash inflows (cash receipt from payment of receivables less payments for payables) for January is actually 108350+180000-130690 = 157660. Actual cash inflow is 157660, not 5410.

    Then
    Ovedraft as at the beginning of January 240250
    Net cash inflows (157660)
    Interest peyments 70000
    Operating cash outflows 146500
    Overdraft as at the end of January 299090

    You are correct, and the examiners answer is nonsense.
    I (and others) have already written to the ACCA to complain about it.

    Fortunately, it was only 4 marks, but that does not excuse it.

    Sorry, but there is nothing more I can add.
