Answer 1

Answer:

Cash flow from operating activties 3,800,000

Explanation:

Cash collected from sales:(A)    21,000,000

Cash paid to supplier (B)           (15,200,000)

Interest paid                                 (1,000,000)

income taxes paid                       (1,000,000)

Cash flow from operating activties 3,800,000

(A)we use the sales and account receivable account

3,000,000 + 21,000,000 - 2,500,000 = 21,500,000

(B) we solve for purchases with COGS and inventory

purchases:

15,000,000 + 3,000,000 - 2,400,000 = 15,600,000

and now, with purchase along wiht account payable we solve for

paid to suppliers

1,000,000 + 15,600,000 - 1,400,000 = 15,200,000
