An increase of $54

Explanation:

Any increase in current assets will decrease in cash. On the other hand, any decrease in current assets will increase cash balance.

Inversely, any increase in current liabilities will increase cash and any decrease in current liabilities will decrease cash balance of the period.

Increase in inventories ($248)

Increase in accounts payable $186

Decrease in accounts receivable $139

Decrease in other current asset $61

Decrease in other current liabilities ($84)

Total change $54 - an increase in cash
