Answer:

VPI Co.

Cashflow statement for the year ended December 31

$

Operating activities

Net income 59,000

Add Depreciation 7600

Less gain from sale of machinery (2900)

Increase in Inventory (8,600)

Increase in accounts payable 3,300

Decrease in accounts receivable 6,600

Cash flow from Operating activities 65,000

Investing activities

Cash received from sale of machinery 11,300

Financing activities

Cash paid for dividends (4,600)

Net cashflow 71,700

Cash balance at prior year-end 43,600

Cash balance at current year-end 114,300

Step-by-step explanation:

The indirect method of cashflow statements starts with the cashflows from the operating activities to Financing and then investing activities.

An increase in an asset other than cash is a decrease in cash and vice versa. An increase in a liability is an increase in cash and vice versa. We add or subtract none cash items like depreciation, gain on asset disposal etc.
