Answer 1

Carla Vista Corporation

Cash flow from operating activities

For the year ended December 31, 2017

Cash flow from operating activities

Net income $3,329,350

Adjustments to net income:

Depreciation expense $1,023,282

Cash flow form operating activities $4,352,632

Amortization and depreciation expense does not represent a cash outflow, therefore, it increases the cash flow from operating activities.
