C) Cash flows used by investing activities (8,000)
D) Cash flows provided by financing activities 9,000
What is the ending cash balance?

Answer 1

Answer:

$27000

Explanation:

Given: Beginning Cash balance $14,000

          Cash flows provided by operating activities 12,000

          Cash flows used by investing activities 8,000

          Cash flows provided by financing activities 9,000

Now, calculating the ending cash balance:

Ending cash balance is calculated by subtracting cash outflow from cash inflow.

∴ Ending cash balance= $(\textrm{Beginning cash balance+cash flow from operating activities+ financing activities}- investing\ activities)$

Ending cash balance= $14000+12000+9000-8000= 35000-8000$

∴ Ending cash balance for December 31, 2019 is $27000.
