• Subtracted under operating activities as an extraordinary item and inflow under investing activities also.

Answer 1

Subtracted under operating activities as an extraordinary item and inflow under investing activities also.

Explanation:

Although an insurance claim is a gain, it is not part of regular operations. Therefore, it is not added under operating activities. As it relates to loss of machinery (a fixed asset), the insurance amount is shown as an inflow under investing activities.
