Respuesta :

Answer:

B. $29,000

Explanation:

The cashflow from operating activities is calculated as below:

Cashflow from operating activities = Net income + Depreciation - Working capital investment

                                                          = Net income + Depreciation - (Change in inventories + Change in account receivables - Change in account payables)

Putting all the number together, we have:

123,000 = Net income + 38,000 - [(-27,000) + 31,000 - 48,000 - 12,000),

Solve the equation we get Net income = 29,000.
