2
Repayment of Bank Loan
3
Redemption of Debentures

Official Solution
Correct Option: (4)

Issue of Shares: Involves raising capital from shareholders.
Repayment of Bank Loan: Reduces the company's debt.
Redemption of Debentures: Similar to repaying a loan, it reduces long-term debt. Therefore Rent received is classified as Cash flow from operating activities. The key to finding the odd one out here is finding the option that does not involve loan.

Understanding Cash Flow Activities:
Investing Activities relate to the purchase and sale of long-term assets and other investments.
Operating Activities relate to normal activities of a business.
Financing activities relate to funding from shareholders, debentures and loans.
Explanation: Here, 50% is paid by cheque for purchase of long term machinery.
If full amount was paid by cheque, that will be Rs (5,00,000. However, the question states that bond has been executed, hence the total cash paid out is 5,00,000/2, i.e. 2,50,000 Rs and since the amount is being paid, the activity involves Cash outflow of (2,50,000Rs). Reasons to Reject Other Options:
In any machinery related questions, the activity is an Investing Activity.
We are paying some amount, so the activity has to be outflow rather than inflow.

If the net profit of the company is Rs 35,000 after writing off goodwill of Rs 16,000 and loss on sale of machinery of Rs 5,000, then cash flow from operating activities will be:
1
56,000
2
41,000
3
30,000
4
14,000
Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Cash flow from operating activities starts with net profit. Non-cash expenses (goodwill written off) and losses on sale of assets are added back because they reduce profit but do not affect cash.
Therefore, Cash flow from operating activities = Rs 35,000 + Rs 16,000 + Rs 5,000 = Rs 56,000.
