12. 12 i. A decrease in CA implies an increase in cash. A decrease in receivables implies that cash was collected, hence a decrease in receivables is added to NI. ii. An increase in CA implies a decrease in cash, as it takes cash to acquire assets. An increase in current assets is therefore deducted from NI. iii. Decrease in CL means decrease in cash. Payment of current liabilities results in a decrease in cash, hence decrease in CL is deducted from NI. iv. Increase in CL means increase in cash, as it means that we either borrowed money or received some credit. Hence we have more cash or saved cash. An increase in CL is therefore added to NI. 2.Indirect Method – cont’d See class question
