Based on the information provided, determine the amount of cash flow from operating activities.

Answer 1

a. Amount of operating expenses recognized during the accounting period = Account payable closing balance + Cash payment - Opening balance

= $25,000 + $40,000 - $2,000

= $63,000

b. Net income earned during the accounting period = Cash revenue - Amount of operating expenses recognized

= $85,000 - $63,000

= $22,000

C. Amount of cash flow from operating activities = Net income + Increase in current liability

= $22,000 + ($25,000 - $2,000)

= $45,000
