Explain the difference between accounting value and market value. Which is more important to the financial manager? Why? Why is interest paid not a component of operating cash flow?

Market Value | 
| That value which is decided based upon enterprise accounting profit & loss (production,sale,purchase,expenses) i.e. actual value which could be attained by a investor in long term. | That value which is decided based upon demand and supply in market (including investors predictions ,TV news) | 
  | 
|
| From Financial Manager's Point of view Market value is more important because now as per IFRS fair value concept is used for valuation right now i.e. market value | |
  | 
|
| Operating cash flow is dervied from operating cycle i.e. | |
| Purchase:production:sale | |
| So interest paid on amount borrowed for business purpose is an indirect expense not opeating expense: | |
| hence not be treated as an component of operating cash flow. | |
