a. £79,800
b. £77,000
c. £70,000
d. £67,200
Answer to the given question is d. £67,200.
Explanation:
We now that:
Closing Tax Payable = Opening Tax Payable + Tax Expenses for the year - Payment of taxes during the year
Putting the given figures in the above question:
£78,800 = £70,000 + £77,000 - Payment of taxes during the year
Therefore, Payment of taxes during the year = £70,000 + £77,000 - £77,700
Hence, Payment of taxes during the year = £67,200
Therefore, £67,200 will be the amount that will appear as tax paid in the Statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2019.
