Answer:

Lucia's cash flows from operating activities would be:

$132,000.

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable  End: $30,000  Beginning: $29,000 = -$1,000  

Accounts Payable    End: $24,000  Beginning: $26,000 = -$2,000  

Net Income : $ 135,000

To calculate the total cash flow from operating activities it's necessary to deduct of the Net Income the variance of these accounts which indicates a negative variance during the year, -$2,000 on accounts payable because the company paid more bills these year than before, and -$1,000 because the company expand their credit line to customers.

Cash Flow: $135,000 - $1,000 - $2,000 = $132,000.
