Cash Flow From Financing Activities

100,000 (2,000) (40,000) |
Net cash flow from financing activities | $58,000 |
Explanations
1) Issuance of common stock is a cash inflow for the business pertaining to share capital. Share Capital forms a part of financing activity and therefore, it has been added to cash flow from financing activity.
2) Dividends are a cash outflow pertaining to the nature of shares. Therefore, it has been subtracted from cash flow from financing activity.
3) Depreciation pertains to assets. Assets do not form a part of financing activity and therefore, it has been ignored.
4) Repayment of principal on bonds is a cash outflow pertaining to long-term liabilities. Long-term liabilities form a part of financing activity and therefore, it has been subtracted from cash flow from financing activity.
5) Proceeds from sale of the company's used equipment pertains to assets. Therefore, it has been ignored
6) Purchase of land also pertains to assets and has been ignored.
Therefore, the answer is d.$58,000.
