Cash flow from Operating Activities

Net income                                                     $22,000

Add Depreciation Expense                            $10,800

Less gain on the sale of equipment was         ($500)

Decrease in Accounts Payable                     ($8,400)

Increase in Accounts Receivable                 ($6,900)

net cash provided operating activities        $24,800
