Answer:
Option B. -$182,057
Explanation:
The Cash flow from financing activities can be calculated by using the following formula:
Cash flow from financing activities = Changes in the equity finance
+ Changes in long term borrowings + Changes in short term borrowings
- Interest paid - Dividends paid
Here
Changes in the equity = $175,000 common stock in year 2008
- $125,000 common stock in year 2008 = $50,000
Changes in long term Borrowings = $61,290 - $78,445 = - $17,155
Changes in short term Borrowings = $16,753 - $12,004 = $4749
Interest paid is $0 because interest rate is not given hence we can't calculate it.
Dividends paid = $190,568 Opening Retained Earnings + $248,462 Net Profit for the year - $219,379 Closing Retained Earnings = $219,651
Now, by putting values in the above equations, we have:
Cash flow from financing activities = $50,000 - $17,155 + $4749 - 0 - $219,651 = -$182,057
