Answer 1

Marin Company

Exclusive of the effect of other adjustments, the cash flows from operating activities to be reported on the statement of cash flows is

$345,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Accounts Receivable (Beginning) $88,000

Accounts Receivable (Ending) $77,000

Increase in Cash received from customers = $11,000

b) Income reported on the income statement for the year = $334,000

Increase in Cash received from Customers = 11,000

Cash flows from operating activities to be reported = $345,000

c) The Accounts Receivable reduced from $88,000 to $77,000. This implied that some customers settled their accounts. Therefore, there was inflow of cash from customers. This increases the cash flows from operating activities. This is why the difference is added to the Income as per income statement as a change in working capital.
