7.2 Cash from new loans/cash used to repay loans
Cash from new loans or cash paid to redeem loans in the year can be calculated
simply by looking at the difference between the liabilities for loans and bonds at the
beginning and the end of the year.
An increase in loans or bonds means there has been an inflow of cash.
A reduction in loans or bonds means there has been a payment (outflow) of cash.
Remember to add any loans, loan notes or bonds repayable within one year (current
liability) to the loans, loan notes or bonds repayable after more than one year (non-
current liability) to get the total figure for loans, loan notes or bonds.
$
Loans at end of year (current and non-current liabilities) A
Loans at beginning of year (current and non-current liabilities) B
If A>B, cash inflow from loans in the year (A – B)
If B>A, cash outflow to repay loans in the year
Note: The same calculation can be applied to bonds or loan notes that the company
might have issued. Bonds and loan notes are long-term debt.
Example
The statements of financial position of Entity PLM at 1 January and 31 December
included the following items:
1JanuaryYear1 31DecemberYear1
$ $
Loansrepayablewithin12months 760,000 400,000
Loansrepayableafter12months 1,400,000 1,650,000
The cash flows relating to loans during the year are calculated as follows.

LoansoutstandingattheendofYear1 2,050,000
LoansoutstandingatthebeginningofYear1 2,160,000
=Netloanrepaymentsduringtheyear(=cashoutflow) 110,000
7.3 Dividend payments to equity shareholders
These should be the final dividend payment from the previous year and the interim
dividend payment for the current year. The dividend payments during the year are
shown in the statement of changes in equity (SOCIE). However, in an examination
question you might be expected to calculate dividend payments from figures for
retained earnings and the profit after tax for the year.
