Kendal Whitney · Answer 1

Net Cash provided by Operating Activities 146,000

Explanation:

using the income statement values and the balance sheet beginning and ending we can solve for the cash collection and disbursements:

beginning

+ net income figure:

total amount to collect/pay

less ending

actually paid/collected

collected from customer:

36,010 + 845,540 - 59,510 = 822,040

payment of expenses:

45,780 + 625,700 - 31,020 = 640,460‬

tax paid:

4,070 + 40,190 - 8,680 = 35,580‬

cash from operation

822,040 - 640,460 - 35,580 = 146,000
