Answer 1

Answer:

C) $4,965,000.

Explanation:

cash collected form customers = accounts receivable beginning balance + total revenue - accounts receivable beginning balance = $320,000 + $5,000,000 - $355,000 = $4,965,000

The direct method only uses actual cash outflows and inflows to calculate the cash flow from operating activities.
