Which is an answer?
Answer:
Net cash = income - ( change in accounts payable + accounts receivable)
accounts payable

=58000-53000

accounts receivable
=closing balance - opening balance
=31000-40000

Net cash
=income - ( change in accounts payable + accounts receivable)
=220,000 - ( 5000 + 9000)
=220,000 -14000
= $ 206,000
