It would adjust those changes in working capital. In addition, the depreciation cost is added to the net income, and the loss of asset sales is reduced, while the profit on asset sales is deducted

It also involve cash receipts and cash payments.

So, the classification and the amount of cash flows is shown below:

a. Issue common stock for cash, $44,000 = $44,000 = Financing activities

b. Purchase building and land with cash, $29,000 = ($29,000) = Investing activities

c. Provide services to customers on account, $6,400 = Not applicable as this transaction does not involve any cash.

d. Pay utilities on building, $700 = ($700) = Operating activities

e. Collect $4,400 on account from customers = $4,400 = Operating activities

f. Pay employee salaries, $8,400. = ($8,400) = Operating activities

g. Pay dividends to stockholders, $3,400.  = ($3,400) = Financing activities

So, the cash flow would be

= $44,000 - $29,000 - $700 + $4,400 - $8,400 - $3,400

= $6,900
