Answer:

                                Ayayai Corporation

                            Statement of Cash Flows

                 For the Year Ended December 31, 202x

Cash flows from operating activities:

Net income                                                                         $50,700

Adjustments to reconcile net income:

• Depreciation expense $17,900
• Increase in accounts payable $13,600
• Increase in accounts receivable ($12,000)
• Increase in AFS securities ($17,100)
• Increase in inventory ($7,200)                                  ($4,800)

Net cash flow provided by operating activities                $45,900

Notes payable are part of the financing activities of the company, they are not part of the operating activities. So any change in the value of notes payable must be included in the cash flows from financing activities.
