Answer 1

Cash flow from operations = $300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the indirect method we must adjust income for the non-cash transaction.

Net income = $250,000

Depreciation = $30,000

Decrease of $20,000 in accounts receivable

Increase in bonds payable of $50,000.

Cash flow from operations = Net income + Depreciation + Decrease in accounts receivable =

Cash flow from operations = $250,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 = $300,000
