Answer 1

Answer:

E. None of the above

Explanation:

We must substract the ouflows from the inflows:

Cash inflow from operating activites               $102,000

Cash outflow from non-operating activities    ($33,600)

Cash outflow from investing activities             ($73,200)

Cash outflow from financing activities             ($38,400)

Total net cash flow                                            ($43,200)

Cash outflows from non-operating activities is category under which outflows from financing and investing activities fall. In this question, this category is included both in aggregated and disaggregated for. This would not make much sense is a balance sheet, but in order to solve the question correctly, it must be taken into account.
