Answer 1

Answer:

Cash flows from operating activities = $465,000

so correct option is B- $465,000

Explanation:

given data

investing activities = - $270,000

cash flows = - $163,000

cash account at the beginning = $86,000

cash account at the end of year = $118,000

solution

we get here Cash flows from operating activities that is express as

Cash flows from operating activities = closing cash balance - (cash flows from financing activities + cash flows from investing activities + beginning cash balance)    .....................1

put here value and we get

Cash flows from operating activities = $118,000 - (-$163,000 - $270,000 + $86,000)  

Cash flows from operating activities = $465,000
