    the gain on disposal of $700 is deducted from the net profit in the segment of cash flows from operating activities. the cash received of $5,200 is recognized as a cash inflow in the segment of the cash flows from Investing activities

    Closing balance = $1,500

    Cost of land sold = $6,000 - $1,500

    = $4,500

    Gain on sale = $700

    Therefore, amount received on disposal = $4,500 + $700

    = $5,200
