in simple words.
amount receivable from one of the debtor is Rs.100. (opening)
during the period amount received from debtor is Rs. 60.
so closing balance is Rs. 40.
___________________________________________________
here we should understand:
treatment in difference amount of opening and closing (100-40)
i.e. decrease in debtors = nothing but cash inflow
so we should take positive number in changes in working capital (cash inflow)
we should identify the cash inflow or out flow based on chages in working capital items
based on above explanation:
decrease in current asset : cash inflow
increase in current asset : cash outflow
