The net cash provided by operating activities for Marigold Corp. would be reported at a value of $560,200.

To calculate the net cash provided by operating activities, we need to consider the adjustments to net income. Finally, we subtract the dividend paid of $80,300, as dividends are considered a financing activity and not included in operating activities.

Putting it all together, the calculation is as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities = Net income + Depreciation expense + Amortization of a patent - Income from equity method investment + Amortization of bond discount - Dividends paid

= $472,000 + $59,200 + $32,000 - $48,300 + $12,100 - $80,300

= $560,200.

Therefore, the net cash provided by operating activities for Marigold Corp. would be reported at a value of $560,200.
