Answer 1

Answer:

The Yowell's net cash flow from operating activities is $14,500

Explanation:

In the direct method, the operating activities record revenues and expenses which are earned and incurred during a particular year.

The computation of the net cash flow from operating activities is shown below:

= Consulting services revenue - rent expense - employees' salaries expense

= $64,000 - $15,500 - $34,000

= $14,500
