Explanation:

Cash Flow Statement

For the year 2018

Net Income                                       $210,000

Increase in Accounts receivable     ($9,000)

Decrease in Accounts Payable        ($5,000)

Net Cash Flow from operating

activities                                              $196,000

Working Note:

Increase or decrease in Accounts Receivable = Jan 1 - Dec 31

= $35,000 - $44,000

= ($9,000)

Therefore, it is an increase in accounts receivable

Decrease or increase in Accounts Payable = Jan 1 - Dec 31

= $60,000 - $55,000

= $5,000

Therefore, there is decrease in accounts payable.
