₹31,20,000

₹40,67,500

₹31,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹31,20,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹31,20,000.

Net profit before tax  and Extraordinary items = Net profit after all appropriations + Transfer to general Reserve + Provision for taxation
                                 = 31,25,000 + 4,37,500 + 8,75,000
                                 = 44,37,500

Add : Deductions already made in Statement of Profit and Loss on account of Non-cash items such as Depreciation, Goodwill to be Written-off- 7,80,000
Less: Additions (incomes) made in Statement of Profit and Loss on Account of Non-operating items such as Dividend received, Profit on sale of Fixed Assets- 12,50,000

Operating profit before working capital changes = (44,37,500 + 7,80,000 - 12,50,000)
                                                                                 = 39,67,500

Operating Profit before working capital Changes  = 39,67,500
Add: Increase in Current liabilities (Trade Payables) = 1,00,000
Less: Increase in Current assets = (Prepaid Exp 2,50,000 + inventory 2,30,000 + Trade Receivables 30,000)=5,10,000

Cash from Operating Activities before tax = 39,67,500 + 1,00,000 - 5,10,000
                                                                     = ₹35,57,500

Cash flow from Operating Activities  = Cash from operating Activities before tax - Tax
                                                             = 35,57,500 - 4,37,500
                                                             = 31,20,000

Note- Provision for tax is assumed to be paid int he current year at the end.
