Answer:

D) positive cash flow of $21,900 from investing activities

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Sonesta's cash flow associated to this transaction we can use the following formula:

cash flow = net book value of the asset - loss on sale of the asset

cash flow = $30,900 - $9,000 = $21,900

The cash flow was generated by an investing activity since Sonesta sold an asset, not its products.
