In summary, this is what I think:

Taking out the term deposit : Investing outflow
Receiving the principal amount upon maturity: Operating inflow

Do you agree BoredSaint BoredSatan?

Yup, that's what I would do as well. :)

Yeah so if the term deposit was greater than a year...

all the interest revenue received is operating inflows.

when you get the term deposit principle amount back, investing inflow

Hmm.. I guess we have differing views about the last bit. Well I won't argue with Bored "the king of accounting" Satan :P

pleaseeee :P

Well as I see it, when you get the principle back technically you are 'selling' a non-current asset

LOL! Let's just hope that a Question on Term Deposits like that doesn't come up. If it does, you both can laugh at us all who are doing the Question in the Exam Room. :P

I originally that that opinion, and then abcdqdxD persuaded me otherwise, and now I've gone back to my original opinion. HAHA!....
Recording the receiving of Term Deposits in the CFS has become quite controversial. In my opinion and the Cambridge Textbook's opinion, its a Investing Cash Inflow.

Term Deposits are usually recorded under Non-Current Assets if the business is going to receive the Term Deposit sometime beyond 12 months. However, your example says its for 6 months, so it would go under Current Assets because the firm will receive it within the next 12 months, and is thus recorded as a Current Asset. :)

Yeah I guess so. If it was last year, I probably would've recorded it under Investing inflow. The way I see accounting has changed a lot since doing UMEP :P

I would go with what BoredSatan has said.

i would think that vcaa would mark both answers correct, cuz each of them can be argued.
But dont mess with AN accounting author.

I don't think they will mark both answers correct. Again, go with what BoredSatan has said :P

If a stock write-down occurs and you have to show it in the stock card, would you have to put the written down stock at the top of the balance column? Does it matter?

Had 11 units at $860 each
Stock write down for 2 units (SWD value=$110)

What would the balance column look like now?

Hmm good question. I would put it at the top as one would assume you would want to get rid of that stock first hence the write down
