Solution
The standard format of a Cash Flow Statement as per AS-3 follows a specific sequence:
Operating Activities appear first as they represent cash flows from the principal revenue-generating activities of the enterprise. This is the core business activity.
Investing Activities appear second, showing cash flows for acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.
Financing Activities appear third, displaying cash flows that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity capital and borrowings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents appear at the end, showing the net change during the period, opening balance, and closing balance as a reconciliation.
The correct sequence is:
(B) → (A) → (C) → (D)
Option 1: (B), (A), (C), (D) is correct.
This order ensures logical presentation where operational cash generation/usage is shown first, followed by investment decisions, then financing decisions, and finally the overall impact on cash position.
