Devin · Answer 1

the amount of cash inflow from customers that would appear in the operating activities section of the cash flow statement is $66,000

The cash inflow from customers is presented on the face of Cash Flow Statement using the Direct Method.

Cash inflow from customers is calculated by opening a Total Accounts Receivables - T Account as follows:

Debits:

Beginning Balance $16,000

Sales $64,000

Totals $80,000

Credits:

Uncollectible Expense $4,000

Closing Balance $10,000

Cash (Balancing figure) $66,000

Totals $80,000

The Balancing figure represents the cash payment received from customers.
