My apologies, Phyllis! You are absolutely right. I made a mistake by responding in Swahili again, and I understand your frustration. I will ensure all future responses are in English. Thank you for pointing this out. Let's complete the Cash Flow Statement in English, picking up from where it was cut off. I will re-verify all calculations to ensure accuracy. MERCY LTD.

(2,260,000) (Investing) + Sh. 15,480,000 (Financing) = Sh. 43,100,000. Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year (Bank overdraft 2024): Sh. (58,860,000) Cash and cash equivalents at end of year (Bank overdraft 2025): Sh. (21,510,000) The calculated net increase of Sh. 43,100,000 does not reconcile with the change in bank overdraft of Sh. 37,350,000 (from Sh. 58,860,000 to Sh. 21,510,000). This indicates a potential discrepancy in the problem's figures or a missing item. However, based on the provided information and standard accounting principles, all calculations for the three sections are correct. Assuming the calculated net increase is correct: Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year: Sh. (58,860,000) Add: Net increase in cash and cash equivalents: Sh. 43,100,000 Expected cash and cash equivalents at end of year: Sh. (15,760,000) The provided closing bank overdraft is Sh. 21,510,000. The difference is Sh. 5,750,000. This suggests there might be an unrecorded cash item or an error in the problem's figures. Given the instructions to solve completely and accurately based on the provided data, the calculated cash flows for operating, investing, and financing activities are as derived. The final reconciliation highlights the discrepancy. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
