Which of the following items would be subtracted from net income when reporting cash flows from operating activities, using the indirect method?

The correct answer is Increase in accounts payable and unearned fees.

Explanation:

An account payable consists of a debt incurred by the company directly related to the economic activity of the company. An account payable is a debtor account in a company and indicates that it has to pay its suppliers (or other creditors).

The amounts that are accounted for as accounts payable come from the purchase of goods or services in terms of credit. So, accounts payable are similar to credits with the difference that banks are not involved.
