    This was so helpful. Thanks alot!

    In the summary of the video, under the Cashflow statement box (@4:12), the first line item should be “Operating Activities” instead of “Balance Sheet”, it must have been a typo. Thank you, Karthik and team Zerodha for all your efforts in making such content available.

      Ah, thanks of pointing that RObin. Not sure if we can edit that now. But I hope can figure its a typo 🙂

    Sir could you please tell me how to calculate at what percentage the company has taken the loan?

  4. Aasheesh Samuel Chhewang says:

    Sir you have explained in the video the finance cost part, that’s what I am not able to understand that how do I calculate at what percentage the company has taken its long term loans or borrowings? ( Like in balance sheet finance cost states that it is the interest amount paid by the company. So I want to know the figures or amount from which that finance cost has been calculated and written there.)

    • Karthik Rangappa says:

      For that, please check the notes or schedule associated with the liabilities. The notes will give you a detailed split.
