Solution
i. A part of the accumulated depreciation was written off due to disposal/sale of a part of Plant and Machinery during the year. When an asset is sold, the accumulated depreciation related to that asset is removed from the books.
ii. Cash Flow of Interest on Debentures
Interest on debentures (as per P&L) = ₹ 50,000
Outstanding interest included = ₹ 20,000
Cash paid for interest
= 50,000 − 20,000
= ₹ 30,000
iii. Cash Flow from Investing Activities
