Answer 1

B. $71,637

Step-by-step explanation:

Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets i.e intangible assets and the fixed assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

The computation of the total amount reported in the investing section is shown below:

= Book value of office equipment + gain realized on the sale of office equipment

= $64,521 + $7,116

= $71,637

Simply we added the book value and the gain realized
