The correct answer is letter "B": Cash inflow equal to the cash received and a cash outflow equal to the cash paid.

Explanation:

The cash inflow equals to the amount of money received for the old equipment sold and cash outflow equivalent to the money paid for the brand new equipment. The note payable is not a cash outflow, and the cash outflow received should not be decreased.
