    Cash flows from financing activities = - $12600

    Explanation:

    Before we determine this company's cash flows from financing activities we should understand what components or cash flows are and/or can be associated with financing activities of a business. Cash flows from financing activities include all those cash flows that are received/paid in financing/funding the entity's operations. All those cash flows that are related to raising funds/finance for the business which normally include cash from issuance of equity/debt/, settlement of mature instruments etc.

    So in the question the cash flows that relate to financing activities are as follows;

    issued common stock = $64000

    paid cash dividend = $14600

    settlement of note payable = $50000

    payment to acquire treasury stock = $12000

    Cash flows from financing activities = $64000 - $14600 - $50000 - $12000

    Cash flows from financing activities = - $12600

    In this situation, the company is facing negative cash flows as company has received lower cash from financing and has paid/settled greater amounts.

    Note: purchasing of equipment is a cash outflow from investing activities and net income generated is a cash inflow from operating activities.
