E. None of the above

Answer 1

C. 1.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The total net cash flow consist of net cash flows from 3 activities namely; Operating activities, Investing activities and Financing activities.

Let the cash flows from operating activities be y

Therefore,

123,000 = y + 66,480 + 30,780

y = 123,000 - 66,480 - 30,780

y = 25,740

Current liabilities = (23,400 + 19,500)/2

= 21450

The company's operating cash flows to current liabilities ratio

= 25,740 /21450

= 1.20
