Show Hint

For Cash Flow Statement (Investing \& Financing): - Investing: Focus on purchase/sale of Non-Current Assets (PPE, Intangibles, Investments). Sale proceeds are inflow, purchases are outflow. Interest/Dividends Received are also Investing inflows.
- Financing: Focus on changes in Non-Current Liabilities (Loans, Debentures) and Shareholders' Funds (Share Capital). Issue of shares/debentures is inflow, redemption/buyback/repayment is outflow. Payment of Interest and Dividends are Financing outflows.
- Use comparative Balance Sheets and Additional Info. Prepare ledger accounts (e.g., Fixed Asset A/c, Acc Dep A/c) if needed to find missing figures like purchases or depreciation.
