How much cash flowed in as a result of net income in the first six months of 2018.

Answer 1

(A) Net Cash provided by Operating Activity - $ 63,814

(B) Net Cash used in Investing Activity - $ (272,688)

(C) Net Cash provided by Financing Activity - $ 11,281

(D) Impact of exchange rate on cash & cash equivalents - $ (595)

(E) Net Inflow/(Outflow) - $ (198,188) {A+B+C+D}

However, since we have to calculate actual inflow/(outflow) we have to ignore Impact of exchange rate on cash & equivelants, hence the outflow for 6 months is $ (197,593).

To calculate the outflow on account of net income in 6 months we have to consider only cash flowing/incoming from normal operations of the company. Hence, total cash flowed in as a result of net income is $ 63,814.
