Answer:

$37,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net cash provided or used by operating activities are as follows

Cash flow from operating activities

Net income $41,500

Add: depreciation expenses $48,000

Add: Decrease in account receivable ($162,000 - $188,000) $26,000

Less: Increase in inventory ($442,000 - $370,000) -$72,000

Add: Decrease in prepaid expenses ($11,500 - $14,000) $2,500

Less: Decrease in account payable ($370,000 - $384,000) -$14,000

Less: Decrease in accrued liabilities ($8,500 - $12,000) -$3,500

Add: Increase in income tax payable ($36,000 - $27,000) $9,000

Cash flow provided by operating activities $37,500

The negative sign indicates the cash outflow and the positive sign indicated the cash inflow
