What amounts should Flax report in its Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 20X4, for cash paid for goods to be sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

the cash paid for goods to be sold is $226,500

Explanation:

The computation of the cash paid for goods to be sold is shown below:

= Cost of goods sold + Opening trade account payable - closing trade account payable + closing inventory - beginning inventory

= $250,000 + $17,500 - $25,000 + $31,000 - $47,000

= $226,500

Hence, the cash paid for goods to be sold is $226,500
