Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the net cash provided by operating activities using the indirect method, we need to start with net income and adjust for non-cash expenses and changes in current assets and liabilities.
Starting with net income of $38,400, we make the following adjustments:
- Add back depreciation expense of $12,000
- Subtract the increase in accounts receivable of $2,400 (increase in current asset)
- Add back the decrease in inventory of $1,200 (decrease in current asset)
- Subtract the decrease in accounts payable of $2,400 (decrease in current liability)
- Add back the increase in accrued expenses of $1,800 (increase in current liability)

Net cash provided by operating activities = $38,400 + $12,000 - $2,400 + $1,200 - $2,400 + $1,800 = $49,600

However, we need to adjust for the increase in current assets (other than cash) of $21,000 and the decrease in current liabilities of $1,200:

Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities = $49,600 - $21,000 + $1,200 = $35,400

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
