Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

As per AS-3 (Cash Flow Statements), the standard format of Cash Flow Statement follows a specific sequence:

Cash flow from Operating Activities (D) appears first as it shows cash generated from the core business operations.

This is followed by Cash flow from Investing Activities (C), which shows cash flows from purchase and sale of long-term assets.

Next comes Cash flow from Financing Activities (B), which reflects cash flows from transactions with owners and creditors.

Finally, Cash and Cash Equivalents (A) is shown at the end, representing the net effect of all three activities on the closing cash balance.

The standard format is:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net Increase/Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents

Add: Opening Cash and Cash Equivalents

Closing Cash and Cash Equivalents

Therefore, the correct sequence is (D), (C), (B), (A).
