Answer is C.
20+5 (dividends paid) +25537=35
Isn’t Dividends Paid categorised under CFF? Why is this included in the computation of CFO?

This question is also in the CFAi text. With CFO questions, they’re often asking for you to calculate it using either the direct or indirect method, so when you see a question telling you to calculate CFO, prep your mind that a direct or indirect preparation question is probably what they’re looking for. Then you can pretty easily tell with the info at hand what they want. In this case, they’re looking for the CFO prepared using the indirect method (you can tell with the data they provide). Whenever you’re using the indirect method, you ALWAYS start with net income. So to arrive at net income, you take current year retained earnings plus dividends paid (NI  div = RE). Then you work through the rest of the problem (add back depreciation, etc.).

C
NI= Ending Retained earnings  Begining Retained earnings + Dividend paid = 140 120 + 5 = 25
Dep + 25
Decrease in AR +5
Increase in Inventory 3
Decrease in AP 7
CFO = 25+25+537=35
