Correct Answer: Add previous proposed dividend while calculating net profit before tax and extraordinary items and deduct previous year's proposed dividend under Financing Activity.


Solution : Answer = Add previous proposed dividend while calculating net profit before tax and extraordinary items and deduct previous year's proposed dividend under Financing Activity.

It should be added while calculating net profit before charging Tax and extraordinary items and should show the outflow of financing activities. When adjusting for proposed dividends, the previous year's proposed dividend is added to net profit before tax and extraordinary items and then deducted under financing activities. This ensures proper classification of dividends in the financial statements while calculating net profit and cash flows.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
