    Cash Flows Statement not Balancing!
    Here is the balance sheet accounts for abc company:


    December 31 2009 December 31 2008
    Assets:
    Cash 46000 51000
    A/R 75000 82000
    Inventories 92000 83000
    Land 55000 30000
    Equipment 230000 200000
    Accumulated Amort.
    0n Equipment (85000) (80000)

    Total 413000 366000

    Liabilities and Equity:
    A/P 22000 25000
    Bond Payable 75000 100000
    Common Shares 85000 60000
    Retained Earnings 231000 181000

    Total 413000 366000

    Additional Information:

    1. net income for the year ended dec 31 2009 was $60000

    2. Cash dividends were declared and paid during 2009.

    3. Equipment with an original cost of $40000 and with accumulated amortization of $20000 was sold for a gain of $5000 during 2009.

    4. Bonds payable amounting to $25000 were retired in 2007 through the issuance of common shares.

    Prepare a statement of cash flows for 2009 using the indirect method.


    Here is what I came up with but I am off by $5000:

    Net Income 60000

    Adjustments to reconcile net income to
    Net cash provided by operating
    Activities:

    Amortization Expense 5000
    Gain on Sale of Equipment (5000)
    Decrease in A/R 7000
    Increase in Inventories (9000)
    Decrease in A/P (3000) (5000)
    Net cash from operating activities 55000

    Investing Cash Flows:

    Purchase of Equipment (30000)
    Purchase of land (25000)
    Net cash used by investing activities (55000)

    Cash flows used by financing
    Payment of Cash dividends (10000)
    Net cash used in financing (10000)

    Net decrease in Cash (10000)
    Cash at beginning of year 51000
    Cash at end of year (41000)?? It should be $46000??
