Required :

Answer 1

$24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Equipment was purchased = $ 69,000 with cash.

Equipment with a cost = $ 37, 000

Accumulated depreciation = $ 7,000 was sold for $45,000

Net cash provided (used) by investing activities:

= Proceeds from sale of equipment - Equipment purchase for cash

= $ 45,000 - $69,000

= $24,000

Therefore, the amount of net cash provided by​ (used for) investing​ activities is $24,000.
