    The correct answer is Option C.

    Explanation:

    In the indirect cash flows statement, there are 3 sections, namely: net cash flows from operating activities, net cash flows from investing activities and net cash flows from financing activities.

    The items in the question only affect the first two. Under the net cash flows from operating activities, we need to subtract the gain realized from the disposal of the plant assets from net income, which is Sales proceed minus Net book value, i. e., $90,800 - ($904000 - $843000) = $29,800.

    The sales proceed is $90,800. This would be recognized as cash inflow under net cash flows from investing activities.
