Comment :- By observing the above cash flow we can say that the purchase of addtional manchinery had created a presure of the cash budget for this the unit had to take bank loan . Other than this also there is not the adequate cash flow in the opearting system. the unit should try to increase their sales and adopte measures to reduced cost.
