Answer 1

Answer:

(9,594)

Explanation:

The net cash movement during a period the sum of cashflow from operations (CFO), cashflow from investing activities (CFI) and cashflow from financing (CFF) activities. On the other hand, that net cash movement is also calculated as the difference between end of year cash position and start of year cash position. Given that, we have the equation as below:

End of year cash position - Start of year cash position = CFO + CFI + CFF

Putting all the number together, we have:

7,102 - 6,836 = 15,435 - 5,575 + CFF

Solve the equation, we have CFF = (9,594)
