b. $290,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is shown below:

= Net income reported on the income statement + decrease in account receivable

where,

Net income reported = $280,000

And, the decrease in account receivable is $10,000 ($70,000 - $80,000)

So, the cash flow from operating activities

= $280,000 + $10,000

= $290,000

The decrease in account receivable implies that more cash is come so it would be added and the same is shown above
