Allen Company's income statement reported total revenues, $850 and total expenses (including $40 depreciation) of $720. The balance sheet reported the following: Accounts Receivable-beginning balance, $50 and ending balance, $60; Accounts Payable-beginning balance, $22 and ending balance, $28.
Based only on this information, what are the net cash inflows from operating activities? Enter your answer as either a positive or negative number, do not include a dollar sign.
ANSWER:
Net income is the difference between total revenues and total expenses.
Depreciation is a non-cash expense, so we add it back to net income.
We now adjust for changes in current assets and liabilities.
Now, we can calculate the net cash inflows by adjusting for the changes in working capital.
