Calculate the amount of cash received from customers:
Cash received from customers} = [Sales revenue + (Accounts receivable in 2015−Accounts receivable in2016)]=[$410+($194−$190)]=$410+$4=$414
Calculate the amount of investment revenue:
Investment revenue = [Amount of investment revenue−A's company share ofnet income−(Investment revenue receivable in 2016−Investment revenue receivable in2015)]=[$11−$6−($6−$4)]=$11−$6−$2=$3
Calculate the amount of cash paid to suppliers:
Cash paid to suppliers = [Cost of goods sold + (Inventory in 2016−Inventory in 2015)+(Accounts payable in 2015−Accounts payable in 2016)]=[$180+($205−$200)+($65−$50)]=$180+$5+$15=$200
Calculate the amount of cash paid to employees:
Cash paid to employees = [Salaries expense + (Salary payable in 2015−Salary payable in 2016)]=[$73 + ($11−$6)]=$73 + $5=$78
Calculate the amount of cash paid for insurance:
Cash paid for insurance =[ Insurance expense−(Prepaid insurance in 2015−Prepaid insurance in 2016)]=[$7−($8−$4)]=$7−$4=$3

Cash paid for bond interest = [Bond interest expense−(Bond interest payable in 2016−Bond interest payable in 2015)−(Discount on bonds in 2015−Discount on bonds in 2016)]=[$28−($8−$4)−($25−$22)]=$28−$4−$3=$21
