In the income statement all income and expenses apart from depreciation and changes in provisions are cash oriented.

Prepare the cash flow statement for year X1.

b) Solution

Using the indirect method for the calculation of the cash flow from operating activities, in a first step the net result must be adjusted for any non-cash items in the income statement. In a second step, additional cash flows must be calculated by comparing balance sheet items.
