Cash generated from operating activities - 20000

Cash generated from investing activities - 15,000

Movement in cash account (25000)

Cash generated from investing account = (20000+15000+25000) = (60000)

This means that an outflow of $60,000 through financing activity has an overall effect of outflow of $25,000 in the cash account.
