Statement of cash flows: Statement of cash flows reports all the cash transactions which are responsible for inflow and outflow of cash and result of these transactions is reported as ending balance of cash at the end of reported period. Statement of cash flows includes the changes in cash balance due to operating, investing, and financing activities.

Cash flows from operating activities: Cash flows from operating activity represent the net cash flows from the general operation of the business by comparing the cash receipt and cash payments.

Step 3: Calculate the amount of cash paid to suppliers of merchandise.

(Cashpaid to suppliersof merchandise)=Cost of Goods Sold (+Decrease in Accounts Payable/Increase in InventoryORIncrease in Accounts Payable /Decrease in Inventory)=(Cost of goods sold  Increase in accounts payable + Increase in inventory)=$1,300,000$5,000+$25,000=$1,320,000

Step 4: Calculate the change in short-term prepayment.

Change in short-term prepayment =(Ending balanceBeginning balance)=$9000$8,000=$1,000(Increase)

Step 5: Calculate the change in accrued operating expenses payable.

Change in accrued operatingexpenses payable}=(Ending balanceBeginning balance)=$86,000$90,000=$4,000(Decrease)

Step 6: Calculate the amount paid for operating expenses.
