    Is it correct?
    01 Jan- Dec 2007
    Operating profit 91,680
    Depreciation 52,000



    Increased in Inventories (19,600)
    Increased in Trade Receivables (35,600)
    Decrease in Trade Payables (8,400)

    Interest Paid (2,880)
    Taxis Paid (24,800)
    Dividend (16,000)
    Net Cash from operating activities 36,400

    Investing activities
    Purchase of assets (124000)

    Finance activities
    Issue of shares 56000
    Issue of loan stock 8000
    Net cash inflow from financing activities 64000

    Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
    36400 -124000 + 64000 = (23600)
    Cash and cash equivalents beginning 18400
    Cash and cash equivalents ending (5200)



    1. Use the cash flow statement you have prepared to explain why the profit and the net cash flow are not the same figure. The reason for the difference is that the cash flow from operating activities was 36400 and in order to finance purchase of assets of 124000, the firm had to raise equity capital of 56000 and obtain a loan of 8000.
