Step-by-step explanation:

1. The net operating cash flow is the difference between the cash inflows and the cash outflows during the period. The inflows represent cash collections while the outflows represent cash disbursements.

2. The net income is a function of service revenue minus all business expenses incurred during the period, whether actually paid for or not.

3. Receivable balance is the difference between the value of services rendered to customers and the cash collections from the customers. The second year's receivables will include the first year's balance.
