Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the Net Cash Flow in 2020

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW

For the Year 2020

Cash flow from operating Activities:

Net Income $6,200,000

Add Depreciation Expense $ 800,000

Net Cash provided by operating activities $7,000,000

($6,200,000+$800,000)

Cash flow from Investing activities:

Investment in Equipment ($4,000,000)

Net Cash used in Investing activities ($4,000,000)

Net Cash flow in 2020 $3,000,000

Depreciation under Straight Line method = (Cost - Salvage Value)/Useful Life

Depreciation under Straight Line method= (4000000-0)/5

Depreciation under Straight Line method= 800,000

Therefore the Net Cash Flow in 2020 is $3,000,000
