Answer 1

The net cash provided by (used in) operating activities under the indirect method on the statement of cash flows would be $60,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Norbury Corporation's Accumulated depreciation increases of $26,000, therefore, Depreciation expense was $26,000

Under the indirect method, cash flows from operating activities is calculating by using following formula:

Cash flows from operating activities = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses + Non-Operating Losses − Non-Operating Gains + Decrease in Current Assets − Increase in Current Assets + Increase in Current Liabilities − Decrease in Current Liabilities = $27,000 + $26,000 + $10,000 + $3,800 - $14,500 + $14,000 + $2,900 - $8,300 = $60,900
