an increase of $46,685 from investing activities

an increase of $58,312 from investing activities

an increase of $58,312 from investing activities and a deduction from net income of $11,627

Answer 1

Solution 1:

Value of the transaction in the investing section = Sale value of the fixtures = $4,744

Hence option "d" is correct.

Solution 2:

amount of cash for the payment of dividends = Dividend declared + beginning dividend payable - Ending dividend payable

= $83,151 + $9,322 - $14,518 = $77,955

Hence option "c" is correct.

Solution 3:

Gain on sale of building = $58312 - $46685 = $11,627 (Gain will be deducted from net income).

Sale value = $58,312 (Increase in investing activity)

Hence "an increase of $58,312 from investing activities and a deduction from net income of $11,627" is correct.

Last option is correct.
