Cash Flow - Operating Income

Net Income $5,000

Adjustments to reconcile net income

to net cash provided by operating activities:

Inventory - Increase ($2,500)

Prepaid Expenses - Increase $6,000

Accounts Payable - Increase $2,000 $17,000

Accounts Receivables - Decrease ($3,500)

Depreciation $15,000

Net Cash from Operating Expenses $22,000

    You forgot to give us the income statement, or at least the net income and additional information. You need to check the question.
