Question

The cash flows from operating activities are reported by the direct method on the statement of cash flows. Determine the following: If sales for the current year were $753,500 and accounts receivable decreased by $48,400 during the year, what was the amount of cash received from customers

Answer 1

The answer is $801,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash received from customers is a line item under operating activities in the cash flow. It is the total amount of money collected from customers for the period.

Cash received from customers equals sales plus decrease in accounts receivable.

Sales = $753,500

Decrease in accounts receivable = $48,400.

Therefore, Cash received from customers = $753,500 + $48,400

$801,900
