Insights:
1) Long term debt obligations can be paid by issue of further Equity shares and preference shares or other securities which saves the interest for the company which is to be paid every year and also by repaying its debts, the coompany can be debt free and dividend on shares can be paid only when there is adequate profits.
2) Dividends can also be paid by capitalising the reserves and by issuing bonus shares, so that share holders get additional shares and additional dividends in future years.
Note: Since cash dividend is declared and paid during the year, the amount is not provided, it is assumed as financing activity and balancing figure has been derived..
