    The net cash flow is $7,844 from the sale of the assets.

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Determine the average fixed assets

    The average net fixed assets can be determined using the expression;

    Av = (Fb+Fe) / 2

    where;

    Av=average net fixed assets

    Fb=net fixed assets at the beginning of the year

    Fe=net fixed assets at the end of the year

    In our case;

    Av=unknown

    Fb=$216,525

    Fe=$208,650

    replacing;

    Av = (216,525+208,650) / 2=$212,587.50

    The average net fixed assets=$212,587.50

    Step 2: Determine the net fixed assets after accounting for depreciation

    This can be expressed as;

    Net fixed assets=average net fixed assets-depreciation

    where;

    average net fixed assets=$212,587.50

    depreciation=$41,320

    replacing;

    Net fixed assets = (212,587.50-41,320) = $171,267.50

    Step 3: Debit the fixed asset account and credit the cash account

    Account Debit Credit

    Fixed assets 7,844 163,423.50

    Cash flow 163,423.50 7,844

    The net cash flow is $7,844 from the sale of the assets.
