The amount of cash provided by operating activities is $155,000

Explanation:

The net cash provided by operating activities is shown below by the cash flow statement extract:

Net income $152,000

depreciation expense $24,900

increase in accounts receivable ($109700-$77900) ($31,800)

Decrease in inventory ($171,900-$157,000) $14,900

increase in prepaid expenses ($26,700-$25,100) ($1,600)

increase in accrued expenses ($14,600-$8400) $6,200

decrease in accounts payable ($95,100-$85,500) ($9,600)

net cash provided by operating activities $155,000

Note:

An increase in liability means depriving the other party some cash, hence it is positive and vice versa.
