    Net income = $320

    Net cash flow from Operating activity = $145

    Explanation:

    The journal entries are shown below:

    1. Cash A/c Dr $485

    To Service revenue A/c $485

    (Being sales service is provided for cash)

    2. Salary expense A/c Dr $165

    Outstanding salary expense A/c Dr $175

    To Salary and wages payable A/c $340

    (Being salary expense is recorded)

    Salary and wages payable A/c $340

    To Cash $340

    (Being salary and wages are paid)

    The net cash flow from operating activities would be

    = Service revenue - salaries and wages payable

    = $485 - $340

    = $145

    The net income would be

    = Sales - salary expense

    = $485 - $165

    = $320

    Cash flow from Operating activities under the indirect method

    Net income $320

    Less: Decrease in salary payable - $175

    Net Cash flow from Operating activities $145
