Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: C) Inflow of $18,000
Explanation
Disposal proceeds = carrying amount + profit = $15,000 + $3,000 = $18,000, and this cash received is an investing inflow. The $3,000 profit is deducted from profit before tax in operating activities because it is non-cash; the actual cash is shown under investing activities.
