Answer:

A. positive cash flow of $ 20 comma 900 from investing activities

Explanation:

book value - sales price = loss on sale

30,900 - sales price = 10,000

30,900 - 10,000 = sales price

sales price = 20,900

Assumming the purchase was on cash, it will be disclosure as cash generated from investing activities for 20,900

The reason is that cashflow do not focus on the gain or loss from the sale. It focus on the cash movements and this sale involve a cashinflow of 20,900
