    E None of these 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.
