Cash Flow Statement

Question:

Calculate the net amount of "Source" or "Use" of cash when a fixed asset having book value of ₹15,000 is sold at a loss of ₹5,000.

Options:

Use ₹5,000

Source ₹10,000

Use ₹15,000

Source ₹15,000

Correct Answer:

Source ₹10,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Source ₹10,000.

Fixed asset (book value) = ₹15,000
Sold at loss of ₹5,000
Sale of fixed asset = 15,000 - 5,000
                              = ₹10,000 (Source)

It is a source of cash as sale makes an inflow of cash.
