    a. $20,500

    Explanation:

    The cashflow using the indirect method has basically 3 segments namely; Cashflow from operating activities, Cashflow from investing activities and Cashflow from financing activities.

    Cashflow from operating activities considers the net profit before tax and then adjustments for non cash items like depreciation. Hence from the question given, the current year depreciation ($20,500) is a part of the Cashflow from operating activities.

    Other cost elements stated in the question are considered under investing activities.
