The Sheen's cash flows from operating activities is $95 million

Explanation:

Cash flows from operating activities:

The cash flow from operating activities includes all those activities which are of short term period. Like changes in working capital or we can say increase in currents assets or decrease in current assets or increase/decrease in current liabilities.

The increase in current liabilities increase the cash balance, hence it is added and decrease in current liabilities decrease the cash balance. But in the case of current asset, it is opposite.

The depreciation expense and loss on sale of equipment is added. So, we take them in the computation part.

The cash flow from operating activities is equals to

= Net income + depreciation expenses + loss on sale of equipment - increase in accounts receivable + increase in accounts payable - increase in inventory

= $90 + $3 + $2 - $1 + $4 - $3

= $95 million

Hence, the Sheen's cash flows from operating activities is $95 million
