Correct Answer: Added


Solution : Answer = Added

When calculating cash flow from operating activities, an increase in trade payables is added back to net profit. This adjustment accounts for the fact that an increase in payables represents cash that hasn't been spent yet, thus increasing operating cash flow when reconciling net profit to cash flow.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
