    B.$94,000 is recorded as a cash inflow from investing activities and $6,000 is added to convert net income to net cash flow from operating activities.

    Explanation:

    Cost of equipment = $250,000

    Useful life = 10 years

    Annual depreciation = $250,000/10

    = $25,000

    The asset was used for 6 years therefore,

    Accumulated depreciation = $25,000 * 6

    = $150,000

    Netbook value of equipment = $250,000 - $150,000

    = $100,000

    Proceed from disposal = $94,000

    Loss on disposal = $94,000 - $100,000

    = - $6,000

    As represented in the cash flow statements

    The proceed from disposal ($94,000) is recognized as an inflow in the cash flows from investing activities. The loss of $6,000 on disposal is added back to the net net income in net cash flow from operating activities. Same as the depreciation of $25,000.
