9y ago#1The question is testing Statement of cash flows.
Cash operating activities + cash from investing activities + cash from financing activities = 750,000
So, cash from operating activities - 200,000 + 250,000 = 750,000
So, cash from operating activities = 700,000
Cash from operating activities = profit + depreciation - increase in rec/inv
So, 700,000 = profit + 100,000 - 575,000
So profit = 700,000 - 100,000 + 575,000 = 1,175,000
I am most grateful sir.
