Explanation:

Step 1 Calculate the Cash flow Changes during the year: Open a Cash flow Statement

Net cash flow from operating activities                   185,000

Net cash flow used for investing activities             (43,000)

Net cash flow used for financing activities              (97,000)

Cash flow Changes during the year                          45,000

Step 2 Prepare a Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalent Balances at the end of the period

Cash balance at the beginning of the period          310,000

Cash flow Changes during the year                           45,000
