CALCULATION OF NET PROFIT BEFORE TAX AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS-

Balance in Statement of Profit and Loss in 2021              = 6,20,000
Less: Balance in Statement of Profit and Loss in 2020    = 3,00,000
                                                                                        = (6,20,000  - 3,00,000)
                                                                                        = 3,20,000

Add: Proposed dividend of the year 2020 = 2,20,000
                                                                   = (3,20,000 + 2,20,000)
                                                                    = 5,40,000

Add: Dividend paid on preference capital = 50,000
                                                                 = (5,40,000 + 50,000)
                                                                 = 5,90,000

* Preference share dividend is paid after that equity share dividend is proposed. So, preference dividend (5,00,000 x 10/100 = 50,000 is also added back.
* Proposed dividend of the previous year is added back as it is paid in the current year and shown as cash outflow under the financing activity.
* Proposed dividend of the current year has no effect on the cash flow statement in the current year. It is paid in the next year after approval at shareholder's meeting.
