Answer:

$225,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement is divided into three categories investing, operating and financing. The investing activity refers to those activities which deal in buying and selling for long term asset in cash. The buying is cash outflow while the selling is a cash inflow. So the amount reported under the investing activity is $225,000 as cash inflow.
