    The Net cash is 193.100

    Explanation:

    To get net cash flow using the indirect method we must make adjustments to the net income.

    With the balance data, we get the decrease or increase of the different accounts.

    Cash $103,000 $97,100

    Decrease in cash 5.900

    Accounts receivable 110,000 80,800

    Decrease in accounts receivable 29.200

    Inventory 159,000 171,500

    inventory increased 12.500

    Prepaid expenses 26,000 25,000

    Decreased Prepaid expenses 1.000

    Accrued expenses payable $14,500 $9,100

    expenses payable decreased 5.400

    Accounts payable 84,500 95,600

    accounts payable increased 11.100

    It depends on the account if it is added or subtracted to net income. Below you will find the added account with a plus (+) and the subtracted ones with a minus (-)

    In this case,

    Net income 151.400

    Adjustment to reconcile the net income to cash

    + Depreciation expense 24.200

    - Decrease in cash (5.900)

    + Decrease in accounts receivable 29.200

    - inventory increased (12.500)

    + Decreaded Prepaid expenses 1.000

    - expenses payable decreased (5.400)

    + accounts payable increased 11.100

    Net cash 193.100
