Statement of Cash Flows (Partial)

Cash collected from Customers = Beginning Accounts Receivable + Service revenue - Ending Accounts Receivable

= 56,000 + 836,000 - 39,000

= 853,000

Payment for operating expenses = Beginning Accounts Payable + Operating expenses - Ending Accounts Payable

= 31,000 + 619,000 - 39,000

= 611,000

Payment for taxes = Beginning taxes payable + Income tax expenses - Ending taxes payable

= 8,000 + 41,000 - 4,100

= 44,900

Cash collected from customers 853,000 Payment for operating expenses (611,000) Payment for taxes (44,900) Cash flows from Operating activities 197,100
