Cash flow from assets = $51,800

Explanation:

Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to Creditors + Cash flow to Shareholders

Cash flow to creditors = Interest Paid - (New loans taken - Paid Loans)

= $28,311 - ($0 - $21,000)

= $28,311 + $21,000

= $49,311

Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid - Net new equity

= $27,500 - $25,000

= $2,500

Cash flow from assets = $49,311 + $2,500 = $51,811
