    Investing cash flow from current year = - $250,750. This means that the company invested $250,750 in purchasing new equipment and land during the year.

    Explanation:

    cash flow from investing activities = money received from the sale of assets - money spent purchasing new assets

    money received from the sale of assets = $175,000 money spent purchasing new equipment = plant & equipment year 20x1 - plant & equipment year 20x2 + cost of old equipment = $1,000,000 - $1,025,000 + $225,000 = $200,000 money spent purchasing new land = land 20x2 - land 20x1 = $725,750 - $500,000 = $225,750

    Cash flow from investing activities = $175,000 - $200,000 - $225,750 = - $250,750
