Solution

The correct option is C Decreases in current liabilities
Indirect method of ascertaining cash flow from operating activities begins with the amount of net profit/loss. Some important adjustments related to changes in working capital which is necessary to convert net profit/loss which is based on accrual basis into cash flows from operating activities i.e. increase in current assets, decrease in current liabilities should be deducted, and decrease in current assets, increases in current liabilities should be added to net profit/loss.
