    E Tax paid ₹90,000; CFO ₹5,50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • Tax Provision A/c logic: o Opening Balance = 80,000 o Add Current Year Provision = 1,50,000 o Less Closing Balance = 1,20,000 o Balancing figure = Tax paid = 1,10,000 • CFO: o PBT = 6,00,000 o Add Dep = 50,000 → 6,50,000 o Adjust WC = –40,000 + 30,000 = –10,000 → 6,40,000 o Less Tax paid = 1,10,000 → 5,30,000
