Expert Solution

Net change in cash for the period = 46,250 - 26,250 + 24,300 = 44,300 positive

Cash from operations/Operating cash flow

Cash generated/used from regular daily operations would fall in this category. For Nick's business it would be service revenue from a variety of services to its members (group classes, personal training etc.) and from special “fitness” events.

Cash from investing activities

Cash generated/used in long term investments/fixed assets purchases would fall in this category. For Nick's business it would be purchases of weighted battle ropes, new rowing machines a number of additional kettle bells etc.

Cash from financing activities

Cash inflow from loans mainly falls in this category. For Nick's business it would be borrowings.

Nick has sufficient cash flow from operating activities to meet his investing needs, there is no need to borrow from the market which is depicted in financing activity inflow. Rather he should invest his operating surplus to generate more revenue.
