Question

Net income reported on the income statement for the current year was $350,000. Depreciation recorded on plant assets was $26,000. Accounts receivable and inventories increased by $3,000 and $5,000 respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $2,500 and $13,000 respectively. Using the indirect method, how much would be reported as net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows

Answer 1

Answer:

$357,500

Explanation:

Cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows:

= Net income + Depreciation Expense - Increase in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Decrease in prepaid expense - Decrease in accounts payable

= $350,000 + $26,000 - $3,000 - $5,000 + $2,500 - $13,000

= $357,500

Therefore, the net cash flow from operating activities is $357,500.
