Answer:
The Net cash is 302.000
Explanation:
To get net cash flow using the indirect method we must make adjustments to the net income.
With the balance data, we get the decrease or increase of the differents accounts.
End Beginning Cash $ 50,000 $ 60,000
Decrease in cash -10000
Accounts receivable 112,000 108,000
Increase in accounts receivable 4000
Inventories 105,000 93,000
inventory increased 12000
Prepaid expenses 4,500 6,500
decreased Prepaid expenses -2000
Accounts payable (merchandise creditors) 75,000 89,000
accounts payable decreased -14000
It depends on the account if it is added or subtracted to net income. Below you will find the added account with a plus (+) and the subtracted ones with a minus (-)
