How sale of equipment Rs. 90,000 (Book value Rs. 1,00,000) should be shown in the cash flow statement?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Cash inflow from investing activity Rs. 90,000
Equipment is a fixed asset, so its sale is an investing activity. The cash flow statement shows the cash actually received, which is the sale price of Rs. 90,000, not the book value.
Cash inflow from investing activity = sale proceeds = Rs. 90,000
Loss on sale = Rs. 1,00,000 − Rs. 90,000 = Rs. 10,000 (a non-cash item, added back to net profit under operating activities)
