Sunrise Textiles Ltd. is a garment manufacturing company. During the financial year 2023-24, the company reported a net profit of Rs. 5,00,000 after charging depreciation of Rs. 80,000 and a loss on sale of machinery of Rs. 20,000. The company also received dividend income of Rs. 30,000 from its investments in other companies and paid interest on bank loans amounting to Rs. 40,000. Trade receivables increased by Rs. 60,000 and trade payables decreased by Rs. 25,000 during the year. Inventories decreased by Rs. 15,000. The accountant was asked to prepare the cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method as per AS-3 requirements.
Question 1: Identify any two items from the given data that need to be ADDED BACK to net profit while calculating cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.
- Depreciation of Rs. 80,000 is a non-cash item and must be added back to net profit.
- Loss on sale of machinery of Rs. 20,000 is a non-operating item (investing loss) and must be added back to net profit.
- Interest on bank loans of Rs. 40,000 is a financing cash outflow and must be added back to net profit.
Question 2: Explain the treatment of dividend income of Rs. 30,000 received from investments in other companies while computing cash flow from operating activities for Sunrise Textiles Ltd.
- Dividend received from investments in other companies is classified as an INVESTING activity for a non-financial enterprise as per AS-3.
- Therefore, dividend income of Rs. 30,000 must be DEDUCTED from net profit while computing cash flow from operating activities, as it has already been credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- It will then be shown as a cash inflow under the head 'Cash Flow from Investing Activities'.
Question 3: Calculate the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities for Sunrise Textiles Ltd. for the year 2023-24 using the indirect method. Assume income tax paid was Rs. 1,20,000.
- Net Profit before tax and extraordinary items = Rs. 5,00,000 + Rs. 1,20,000 (tax) = Rs. 6,20,000
- Add: Depreciation Rs. 80,000; Loss on sale of machinery Rs. 20,000; Interest on bank loan Rs. 40,000
- Less: Dividend income Rs. 30,000
- Operating Profit before working capital changes = Rs. 7,30,000
- Working Capital Adjustments: Less Increase in Trade Receivables (Rs. 60,000); Less Decrease in Trade Payables (Rs. 25,000); Add Decrease in Inventories Rs. 15,000
- Cash generated from Operations = Rs. 6,60,000
- Less: Income Tax Paid Rs. 1,20,000
- Net Cash from Operating Activities = Rs. 5,40,000
