    debtors are Rs.40,000, what effect will it have on the cash flow statement?
    A Cash flow from operating activities will be increased by Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Cash flow from operating activities will be decreased by Rs.10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Cash flow from operating activities will be increased by Rs.50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Cash flow from operating activities will be decreased by Rs.50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Change in debtors is a working capital change which will reflect under operating cash flow. Here, the change in the debtors decrease in debtors by Rs.10,000 (opening Rs.50,000 less closing Rs.40,000). A decrease in current assets (here debtors) indicated the decreased cash blockage or recovery of cash from debtors. This will be taken as an implicit inflow under Working Capital changes.
