         Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net income                                                                $5,800

Adjustments to net income:

  • Depreciation expense $49,000
  • Decrease in accounts receivable $13,500
  • Increase in accounts payable $11,200
  • Increase in inventory ($11,100)
  • Decrease in taxes payable ($800)                 $61,800

Net cash flow from operating activities                 $67,600

Depreciation expense and increase in accounts payable or taxes payable increase the cash flows from operating activities. Also, any decrease in accounts receivable, inventories or prepaid assets increase the cash flow.
