$48,000.
$44,000.
$46,000.
$45,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Cash flow from Operating Activities:

=  Net income + (Beginning Accounts receivable - Ending Accounts receivable) + (Ending Accounts payable - Beginning Accounts payable)

= $45,000 + ($23,000 - $22,000) + ($28,000 - $26,000)

= $45,000 + $1,000 + $2,000

= $48,000

Therefore,  Bird Brain's cash flows from operating activities would be $48,000.
