Working Notes

1. Collection from Sales = Sales revenue- Increase in Account Receivable

                                        = 345000-30000 = 315000

2. Payment for Purchases = Purchases- Increase in Accounts Payable

                                          = (120000-200000+170000)- 20000 = 70000

3. Equipment purchase value= Closing cost-(Opening cost-cost of asset sold)

= 200000-(140000-60000) =120000
