Answer:

The Operating Activities Section of the Statement of Cash Flows, using the indirect method:

Net Income                                $210

Changes in working capital:

Accounts Receivable                 -100

Inventory                                      110

Salaries & Wages Payable           80

Net cash flow from operating $300

Explanation:

In preparing the operating activities section of the Statement of Cash Flows, two methods are used.  The direct method and the indirect method.

The indirect method starts with the net income as the base and converts the income into cash flow through the use of adjustments.  The net income is first adjusted with non-cash items (such as depreciation expense) as well as non-operating gains and losses.  The direct method only takes the operating cash transactions into account to produce the cash flow from operations.  However, it is required that the direct method must provide a reconciliation of net income to the net cash provided by operations.
