kimkimcpa 		You did part a correctly. Part b I won't do it for you but in part a you calculated the cost of goods sold and you're given the sales (aka revenues). So, now you can do the P&L which is Revenues - CGS - Expenses = Net income. You're on the right track!

brucechangcpa 		(i)Prepare a cash flow statement for the drinks trading.
Direct method:
Cash receipts from customers 1,517,800
Cash paid to suppliers (1,009,400)
Cash generated from drinks operations 508,400

Indirect method:
Profit from drinks operations 683,200
Increase in inventories (174,800)
Cash generated from drinks operations 508,400

(ii)Prepare a profit and loss statement for the drinks trading.
Sales of drinks 1,517,800
less cost of drinks sold (834,600)
Gross profit 683,200

(iii)Which part of the trade is most profitable? Discuss.
Gross profits and GP margins were as follows:
Beer 323,700 (42.37%)
Wines 74,700 (26.21%)
Spirits 284,800 (60.75%)

Spirits brought in the highest GP margin, so it's the most profitable of the 3 types of drinks.
