Irvin Watson · Answer 1

The correct option is D

Explanation:

The net cash will be computed as:

Net Cash = Bonds sold amount - Purchases amount of common stock

where the values are:

Bonds sold amount is $22,040

Purchases amount of common stock is $1,700

Putting the values:

= $22,040 - $1,700

= $20,340

The net cash amounts to $20,340 which is an inflow from the investing activities.
