Answer
To reconcile the operating profit to net cash inflow from operating activities, we start with the operating profit and adjust it for non-cash transactions and changes in working capital.
Operating profit: €70,000
Add depreciation: This is a non-cash expense, so we add it back: €25,000
Adjust for changes in working capital:
Increase in stock: This represents cash outflow, so we subtract: €(6,000)
Increase in debtors: Another cash outflow, subtract: €(11,000)
Increase in creditors: Cash inflow, add: €9,000
Net cash from operating activities:
Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities = Operating profit + Depreciation - Increase in Stock - Increase in Debtors + Increase in Creditors
