While taking out net cash flow (operating activity) we will use -

= Net income + depreciation expenses or amortization expenses + working capital changes + loss on sale of assets - gain on sale of assets

In working capital changes - increase in current assets would be subtracted.

increase in current liability would be added

decrease in current asset would be added

decrease in current liability would be subtracted

As per question -

= $29,000 + $3000 + $2000 + $4000 + $8000

= $ 46,000
