Answer 1

Answer 1 : $88,500 provided.

Explanation : Let amount of cash was provided (used) in operating activities be $X

Operating activities + Financing activities + Investing activities = Net decrease in cash

$X - $60,500 - $46,500 = - $18,500

$X = - $18,500 + $60,500 + $46,500

$X = $88,500

Amount of cash provided in operating activities = $88,500 provided.
