The correct answer is Option (b) $23,550 provided by operating activities.

Explanation of Solution

Statement of cash flows: Statement of cash flow is a financial statement that shows the cash and cash equivalents of a company for a particular period of time. It shows the net changes in cash, by reporting the sources and uses of cash as a result of operating, investing, and financing activities of a company.

Indirect method: Under indirect method, net income is reported first, and then non-cash expenses, losses from fixed assets, and changes in opening balances and ending balances of current assets are adjusted to reconcile the net income balance.

Prepare the statement of cash flows of a Company for the year under indirect method.

Kamala Khan has to decide between the following two options: Take out a student loan of $70,000 and study accounting full time for the next three years. The interest on the loan is 4% per year payable annually. The principle is to be paid in full after ten years. Study part time and work part time to earn $15,000 per year for the following six years.   Once Kamala graduates, she estimates that she will earn $30,000 for the first three years and $40,000 the next four years.  Kamala's banker says the market interest for a ten-year horizon is 6%.   Required Calculate NPV of the ten-year cash flows of the two options.
