net loss but positive cash inflow
Permalink Closed

A company reporting net loss on the profit report but a positive cash inflow of funds from operations means that there is a

decrease in trade debtors

increase in trade debtors

decrease in inventory

decrease in trade creditors

sale of fixed assets for cash

 

Please suggest?

A decrease in trade debtors, stock and sale of fixed assets would all result in a cash inflow.

Increase in trade debtors and decrease in trade creditors would result in a cash outflow.

Hi darenatto,

This looks like a 'question' copied straight out of a text book. Never mind 'please suggest', what do you think?

Hi Nick,

I thought that it was from an online exam on Cashflow statements when I saw it.

I'm always wary of giving people an unfair advantage by us answering questions for them.

I think that Cashflow statements are about the only real step forwards with IFRS as they are so much simpler than under UKGAAP (three categories rather than seven)... Which I suppose is lucky as we will all be stuck with them with no exemptions for SME's when we all have IFRS forced upon us.



Hi Darrnatto,

would you like to introduce yourself to the forum? Which supervisory body are you studying with, how far are you through your studies? what are your aspirations? Just basically a little about you.

look forwards to chatting,

kind regards,

Shaun.
