Kyle James · Answer 1

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Cash collections:

= Sales + Decrease in accounts receivable

= $150,000 + ($18,000 - $16,000)

= $150,000 + $2,000

= $152,000

Cash disbursements:

= Purchase - Increase in Accounts payable

= $95,000 - (13,000 - 12,000)

= $95,000 - $1,000

= $94,000

Therefore,

Net cash flows:

= Cash collections - Cash disbursements

= $152,000 - 94,000

= $58,000
