479,000 - Carrying amount of Taka 326,000)

140,000)
Cash generated from operations: = Profit before tax + Adjustments for non-cash items and non-
operating activities + Changes in working capital = 756,000 + (947,000 + 21,000 - 98,000 +
28,000) + (322,000 - 87,000 - 15,000 + 30,000 - 23,000 - 20,000) = 756,000 + 898,000 + 207,000
= 1,874,000
Interest paid: Taka (68,000) (as per the profit and loss statement). Tax paid: Taka (232,000) (as
per the profit and loss statement).
Net cash flows from operating activities: = Cash generated from operations - Interest paid - Tax
paid = 1,874,000 - 68,000 - 232,000 = 1,574,000
Investing Activities:
Net cash flows used in investing activities: = Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment
+ Proceeds from sale of intangibles + Investment income received - Purchase of property, plant
and equipment - Purchase of investments = 424,000 + 12,000 + 45,000 - 1,568,000 - 406,000 = -
1,493,000
Financing Activities:
Net cash flows from financing activities: = Proceeds from issue of share capital + Proceeds from
issue of redeemable preference shares - Movements in borrowings = 242,000 + 200,000 - 500,000
= (58,000)
= Net cash flows from operating activities + Net cash flows used in investing activities + Net cash
flows from financing activities = 1,574,000 - 1,014,000 - 58,000 = 502,000
= Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the year + Net increase in cash and cash
equivalents = 200,000 + 502,000 = 702,000
Summary
The statement of cash flows follows the indirect method, which starts with the profit before tax
and adjusts for changes in working capital and non-cash items. The logic and calculations ensure
all figures reconcile with the given data, ensuring an accurate representation of ABC Limited's
cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Question 23
X Ltd. was established as an automobile manufacturing company on 1st January 2019. Primarily
it issued 1000 ordinary shares of Tk. 170 each. The nominal value of each share is Tk. 100. The
company also issued 1000 redeemable preference shares of Tk. 10 each. The company declared
and paid an interim dividend @ 15% for both ordinary share and preference share on 01 July
2019. The company also declared a final dividend @ 10% for ordinary share on 01 March 2020
for the year 2019. Calculate the amount of interim dividend.
1. Ordinary Shares:
o Issued: 1000 shares
o Nominal Value: Tk. 100 each
o Dividend Rate: 15%
Dividend per share = Nominal Value * Dividend Rate = Tk. 100 * 15% = Tk. 15 Total
Interim Dividend for Ordinary Shares = Number of Shares * Dividend per Share = 1000
* 15 = Tk. 15,000
2. Preference Shares:
o Issued: 1000 shares
o Value: Tk. 10 each
o Dividend Rate: 15%
Dividend per share = Value * Dividend Rate = Tk. 10 * 15% = Tk. 1.5 Total Interim
Dividend for Preference Shares = Number of Shares * Dividend per Share = 1000 * 1.5 =
Tk. 1,500
Total Interim Dividend: = Tk. 15,000 (Ordinary Shares) + Tk. 1,500 (Preference Shares) = Tk.
16,500
Question 24
To find the amount of capital, we need to calculate the net assets. Net assets can be found using
the formula:
Total Assets:
Total Liabilities:
Capital=84,000−5,000
Capital=Tk.79,000
