Wellstone will report cash collected from customers in its 2016 statement of cash flows (direct method) in the amount of: a.$215,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

Sales = $210,000

Opening accounts receivables = $20,000

Ending accounts receivables = $25,000

Using the formula

Opening accounts receivables + Sales -  Cash collected = closing accounts receivables

$20,000 + $210,000 - Cash collected = $25,000

Cash collected = $20,000 + $210,000 -  $25,000

                         = $205,000

The cash collected from sales reduces the balance in the accounts receivables.
