Solution
₹ 10,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from patents, we first need to determine the sale value of the patents by preparing a Patents Account:
\[\text{Debit Total} = \text{Opening Balance} + \text{Purchases} + \text{Profit on Sale}\]
$$\text{Debit Total} = ₹1,50,000 + ₹75,000 + ₹10,000 = {₹2,35,000}$$
$$\text{Sale Value of Patents} = \text{Debit Total} - (\text{Amortisation} + \text{Closing Balance})$$
$$\text{Sale Value of Patents} = ₹2,35,000 - (₹50,000 + ₹1,000,000) = {₹85,000 \text{ (Inflow)}}$$
Net Cash Flow Calculation:
$$\text{Net Cash Flow} = \text{Inflow from Sale} - \text{Outflow from Purchase}$$
$$\text{Net Cash Flow} = ₹85,000 - ₹75,000 = {₹10,000 \text{ (Net Inflow)}}$$
