Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
(A) Operating Activity → (IV) Cash purchases
Operating activities are the principal revenue-generating activities of the enterprise. Cash purchases of inventory or goods for resale fall under operating activities as they are part of the regular business operations.
(B) Financing Activity → (I) Interest Paid on long-term borrowings
Financing activities result in changes in the size and composition of the capital and borrowings. Interest paid on long-term borrowings is classified as a financing activity since it relates to the cost of obtaining financial resources for the business.
(C) Investing Activity → (III) Rent received on property held as investment
Investing activities involve acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and investments. Rent received on property held as investment is income from long-term investments, hence classified under investing activities.
(D) Cash Equivalents → (II) Cash Credit
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Cash credit is a short-term borrowing facility available on demand and is treated as part of cash and cash equivalents for cash flow statement purposes.
