To calculate the net cash flows provided by/used for investing activities using the indirect method, you will sum up the cash inflows and outflows from investing activities.
In this case, we have:
Cash inflows:
- Sale of equipment: $42,700
- Sale of land: $8,500
Total cash inflows = $42,700 + $8,500 = $51,200
Cash outflows:
- Purchase of equipment: $28,400
Total cash outflows = $28,400
Now, we can calculate the net cash flows from investing activities:
\[ \text{Net cash flows from investing activities} = \text{Total cash inflows} - \text{Total cash outflows} \]
\[ \text{Net cash flows from investing activities} = 51,200 - 28,400 = 22,800 \]
Therefore, the net cash flows provided by investing activities is $22,800.
