i) Allowance for Doubtful Debts at year end = Allowance for Doubtful Debts at beginning + Doubtful Debts Expense for 2020 -write off
10000 = 11000+ 5000 - write off
10000= 16000 -write off
Write off = 16000-10000 = 6000
receipts from customers =Beginning accounts receivable +net credit sales -Ending accounts receivable-Write off
= 88000 + 1200000 - 90000-6000
= 1192000
ii)Purchase for 2020 =cost of goods sold for 2020+ Ending inventory - beginning inventory
= 800000 +80000 - 82000
= 798000

= 75000+798000-70000
= 803000
iii)payment to employees= Accrued wages at beginning + wage expense for 2020 -Accrued wages at end
= 10000 + 120000 - 12000
= 118000

Net cash flow from investing activity = Beginning net book value -depreciation expense for2020 - ending net book value-loss on disposal
