Calculate the net increase in cash for the year.

The net increase in cash was 215,900

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cash increase we will start from net income, add depreciation expense because it is a non cash expense, add the loss on equipment because the loss on equipment isn't reducing cash, then we will subtract the increase in accounts receivable because it is an asset which is increasing, then we will add the decrease in prepaid expenses as it is an asset decreasing, then we will add the increase in accounts payable as it is a liability which is increasing, we will subtract the decrease in the wages payable because it is a liability which is decreasing, we will subtract the increase in equipment as it is a asset increasing and at the end we will subtract the decrease in notes payable as it is a liability which is decreasing.
