OPERATING CASH FLOW: | |

NET CAPITAL SPENDING: | |
ENDING NET FIXED ASSETS - BEGINNING NET FIXED ASSETS + DEPRECIATION | |

CASH FLOW FROM ASSETS= CASH FLOW TO CREDITORS + CASH FLOW TO STOCKHOLDERS | |
Substituting available values in the above equation | |
we have: | |
481 = 147+Cash flow to stock holders | |
Cash flow to stock holders = 481-147 = | $ 334 |
Answer: [A] $334 |
