The answer is: - $11,000

Explanation:

The amount of investing cash flows Ferrell Incorporated would report in January should be - $11,000. It is the amount that Ferrell paid in cash. 80% of the purchase or $44,000 is financed by Live Bank and, therefore, will not be included in the investing cash flows. The minus is included because it is an outflow. Because Ferrell Incorporated also obtained permit in January, there is no depreciation in the first month of ownership.
