Answer 1

Answer:

"$846720" is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Net income,

= $961200

Depreciation,

= $118800

Inventory increased,

= $172800

Accounts receivable,

= $64800

Prepaid expenses,

= $8640

Accounts payable decreased,

= $17280

Sale equipment's loss,

= $12960

Now,

The cash provided by operating activities will be:

= $Net \ income + Depreciation + Sale \ equipment's \ loss + decrease \ in \ prepaid \ expenses - accounts \ receivable \ Increase - Inventory \ increase - decrease \ in \ accounts \ payable$On substituting the given values, we get

= $961,200 + 118,800 + 12,960 + 8,640 - 64,800 - 172,800 - 17,280$

= $846720$ ($)
