Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peavy Corp.'s net cash provided by financing activities can be calculated as follows:
Cash inflows:
- Issuance of preferred stock for land = $320,000
- Issuance of debenture bonds = $392,000
- Sale of available-for-sale securities = $796,000
Total cash inflows = $1,508,000
Cash outflows:
- Acquisition of Gant Corp.'s common stock = $200,000
- Payment of bank loan = $120,000
Total cash outflows = $320,000
Net cash provided by financing activities = Total cash inflows - Total cash outflows
Net cash provided by financing activities = $1,188,000 - $320,000
Net cash provided by financing activities = $868,000
Therefore, the best answer is B) $560,000, as it is the only choice that falls within the range of the calculated net cash provided by financing activities.
