    b. an increase of $58,166 from investing activities and a deduction from net income of $22,095

    Explanation:

    The profit on sale of asset = Sale price - Book Value

    Sale Price = $58,166

    Book Value = $36,071

    Profit = $58,166 - $36,071 = $22,095

    This profit is included in net income and under cash flow statement, sale of asset is an cash flow from investing activity, under that net cash received from sale of asset is shown = $58,166, and any gain recognized in net income = $22,095 is deducted from net income in cash flow statement.

    Therefore, correct option is

    b. an increase of $58,166 from investing activities and a deduction from net income of $22,095
