Answer:

Net cash used by investing activities -$16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of net cash provided or used by investing activities is shown below:

Equipment purchase for cash -$66,000

Proceeds from the sale of equipment $50,000

Net cash used by investing activities -$16,000

The purchase is a cash outflow so it is in negative sign while the sale is cash inflow so it is to be shown in a positive sign
