Answer 1

Ans:

From the above options for calculation of operating activity we have to add followings

Depreciation expenses of $1100

Amortization of intangible assets of $120

Interest expenses of $ 300

Deferred tax of $40

Inventories of $230

Prepaid expenses of $130

Accrued expenses of $430

Notes : 1. Fixed assets sale will not come as it is part of investing activity.

2. Other long term assets will not come as it is part of investing activity.

We have to deduct followings

Receivable of $460

Payable of $320
