Correct Answer: Add the previous year’s proposed dividend under net profit before tax and extraordinary items and deduct it under Financing Activity.


Solution : In order to calculate net profit before tax and extraordinary items in the cash flow statement, the proposed dividend from the prior year is added back. As an outflow in finance activity, [Proposed Dividend of Previous Year - Unpaid (Unclaimed) Dividend] is recorded.

Hence the Correct answer is option 1.
