Cash payment for Interest - $32,800 (Operating activity)
Cash payment to suppliers - $42,000 (Operating activity)
Purchase of equipment for cash - $80,000 (Investing activity)
Based on the above considerations, we observe that the cash paid for purchase of equipment is the only Investment activity. Hence, the Net cash used by Investing activities for Year 1 = $80,000.
