Answer:

A) $121,375

Explanation:

To calculate the company's net cash flows form operating activities we start with net income add beginning balance of accounts receivable and subtract ending balance of accounts receivable: $143,124 + $45,323 - $67,072 = $121,375.

Cash flows form operating activities measure the amount of cash generated by the company's regular business activities. When a company sells its products, they can receive cash or hand out credit to the client. The higher the amount of credit handed out to clients (accounts receivable), the lower the amount of cash received. The net cash flow is important because a company might sell a lot, but if it doesn't have enough money it might not be able to pay its own debts.

This is the difference between being economically healthy and financially healthy. Finances only considers the cash inflows and outflows.
