Porter Howell · Answer 1

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Cash flow from operations (Indirect method):

= Net Income + Depreciation expense + Decrease in accounts receivable - Increase in prepaid expenses - Decrease in Accounts payable + Increase in Accrued liabilities + Increase in Taxes payable + Decrease in inventory

= $56,000 + $23,000 + $8,000 - $12,000 - $10,000 + $7,000 + $5,000 + $6,000

= $83,000
