Answer
To reconcile the operating profit to net cash inflow, we begin with the operating profit and adjust for non-cash items and changes in working capital:
Start with the operating profit:
Operating profit = €124,000
Add back non-cash items:
Add depreciation = €41,000
Adjust for changes in working capital:
Decrease in stock = €12,000
Decrease in debtors = €3,000
Decrease in creditors = (€8,000)
Calculate net cash inflow from operating activities:
Net cash inflow = Operating profit + Depreciation + Decrease in stock + Decrease in debtors - Increase in creditors
