Correct Answer: Payment of dividend will be shown as outflow under 'Cash flows from financing activities'.


Solution : Answer = Payment of dividend will be shown as outflow under 'Cash flows from financing activities'.

When a dividend is paid it should be shown as an outflow of cash flow from financing activities because financing activities are the activities which result in a change in the size and composition of the owner's capital and borrowing of the enterprise from other sources.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
