    Can someone double check my work for me so I know if I did this right?
    Cash receipts from:
    Customers.. $270,000
    Investments by owners.. 54,000
    Sale of building.. 90,000
    Proceeds from bank loan.. 60,000
    Cash payments for:
    Wages.. $ 82,000
    Utilities.. 3,000
    Advertising.. 4,000
    Rent.. 36,000
    Taxes.. 67,000
    Dividends.. 20,000
    Repayment of principal on loan.. 40,000
    Purchase of land.. 106,000
    Cash balance at beginning of year... $386,000

    I have to compute the following information based on the information above.

    1. Net cash flow provided (used) by operating activities.
    2. Net cash flow provided (used) by investing activities.
    3. Net cash flow provided (used) by financing activities.
    4. Net increase (decrease) in cash during the year.
    5. The cash balance at the end of the year.

    Here is what I have:

    1) Operating Activities
    Customers…………………………………$270,000
    Wages……………………………………….$(82,000)
    Rent……………………………………………$(36,000)
    Utilities…………………………………………$(3,000)
    Taxes……………………………………………$(67,000)
    Advertising……………………………………. $(4,000)
    Net cash flow provided (used) by operating activities $78,000

    2) Investing Activities
    Sale of Building………………………………$90,000
    Purchase of Land……………………………. $(106,000)
    Net cash flow provided (used) by Investing Activities $16,000

    3) Financing Activities
    Proceeds from bank loan……………………….$60,000
    Repayment of principle loan………………….. $(40,000)
    Dividends………………………………………$(20,000)
    Investments by owners…………………………$54,000
    Net cash flow provided (used) by Financing Activities $54,000

    4) Net Increase in cash during the year………………….$148,000

    5) The cash balance at end of year………………………$534,000

    Is this correct? Do I just add my three net cash flows together to get #4 then add that number to my cash balance from the beginning of the year? For #4 I got 148,000 (oper.78,000 + investing 54,000+financing 16,000). For #5 I got $534,000?

    To get #5 I took the cash balance at the beginning of the year $386,000 and added that to $148,000 Total net cash flow for all activities which came to $534,000.

    I am just not quite sure if I did these last two steps correctly. If someone would just let me know if I am right I would greatly appreciate it. It's only my third week of accounting class so I'm still learning here. Thanks!

    Everything is correct, except that your cash flow USED BY investing is negative.
