Correct Answer: Deducted


Solution : Answer = Deducted

When calculating cash flow from operating activities, an increase in trade receivables indicates revenue earned but not yet received in cash. Therefore, it should be deducted from net profit to reflect the actual cash generated from operations, ensuring a more accurate depiction of cash flow from operating activities.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
