Answer: The correct answer is $29,000.

Explanation: Statement of cash flow refers to a part of the financial statement that shows the actual movement of cash in the business for a givene period.

The actual rent to be reflected on the statement of cash flow using the direct method is calculated as ending value + actual expense - opening value

= $15,000.00 + $23,500.00 - $9,500.00

=$29,000.00
