This question requires us to do the calculation for all activities of the statement of cash flows: operating activities, investment activities, and financing activities. The net cash flow from all three sources is the amount of change in cash. The best way to do this question is to start with net income and then look at each individual item and see if it needs to be added or subtracted from net income if it is an operating activity, or if it was a source or use of cash if it was an investing or operating activity. Net income of $70,000 is the starting point. Both depreciation expense of $14,000 and amortization expense of $1,000 are noncash expenses that are reductions to net income, so they both need to be added back. This gives us $85,000. The $2,000 decrease in accounts receivable needs to be added because the decrease means that we collected more than we had in credit sales during the period. This addition of $2,000 gives us $87,000. The $9,000 increase in inventories needs to be subtracted because this means we paid for inventory that has not yet been sold. This decrease of $9,000 takes us to $78,000. The $4,000 increase in accounts payable needs to be added because it means that we have not paid for all of the items that were purchased during the period. This takes us to $82,000. The $47,000 increase in plant assets indicates that we purchased plant assets, so this will be a decrease to cash, taking us to $35,000. The $31,000 increase in contributed capital means that cash increased due to the sale of shares. This takes us up to $66,000. The $55,000 decrease in short-term notes payable means that we have paid off principal of the notes payable during the period, so cash was used. This decrease in cash takes us to $11,000, which is the net increase in cash for the period.
