    a. - $3,100

    b. $17,300

    Explanation:

    Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)

    where,

    Beginning current assets = Account receivable + inventory

    = $25,200 + $12,600

    = $37,800

    Ending current assets = Account receivable + inventory

    = $23,600 + $13,700

    = $37,300

    And, the current liabilities is given

    = ($37,300 - $17,700) - ($37,800 - $15,100)

    = $19,600 - $22,700

    = - $3,100

    b. The computation of the cash flow is shown below:

    = Sales - costs + decrease in accounts receivable - increase in inventory + increase in accounts payable

    = $36,600 - $24,600 + $1,600 - $1,100 + $2,600

    = $17,300

    The decrease and increase in current assets and liabilities shows a difference between the beginning and ending year amounts
