Calculate net cash flows from investing activities.

*Investing activities are things like sale of land, property, long term assets however, I'm not too sure how the acquisition of land with notes payable affects the cash flow.

1 answer

Net cash flows from investing activities = -$400,000 + $75,000 + $120,000 + $65,000 - $90,000 - $100,000 = -$250,000
