Answer:

The answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cash flows statement (extract) is provided below:

Peterson Enterprises

Statement of cash flows

Net income $5,000,000

Add: Depreciation expense 680,000

Loss on the sale of investments 154,000

Less: Increase in accounts receivable (320,000)

Net cash flows from operating activities $5,514,000

  • The depreciation expense and loss on sale of investments are non-cash items, hence the need to add them back to the net income.
  • The increase in accounts receivable signifies an outflow of cash, hence the need to back it out from the net income.
