Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate net cash flow from operations, we need to start with net income, and then adjust for non-cash transactions (such as depreciation) and changes in working capital (such as accounts receivable and accounts payable).
Starting with net income of $80,000, and adjusting for a $5,000 increase in accounts receivable, a $2,000 increase in accounts payable, and $8,000 in depreciation, we get:

Net income: $80,000
+ Depreciation: $8,000
- Increase in accounts receivable: ($5,000)
+ Increase in accounts payable: $2,000
= Net cash flow from operations: $75,000

Therefore, the correct answer is B) $75,000.
