The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.
The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.
An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. Depreciation and other non-cash expenses deducted in the income statements are added back while the non-cash income such gain on asset are deducted from net income.

Solution:
Pick some smart number for x,
let x=2 (I chose x=2 as in this case monthly shipments would be X/2=1).
From January to April, inclusive 4x=8 brooms were produced and
in May the company paid for storage of 8-1 =7 brooms,
in next month for storage of 6 and so on.
So the total storage cost would be:
= 1 ∗ (7+6+5+4+3+2+1+0)
= 28
--> as x=2 , then 28 = 14x
So the answer is 14x
