A)   $40,000 outflow.

B)   $360,000 inflow.

C)   $300,000 outflow.

D)   $60,000 inflow.

The correct answer was A)

Given the gain of $100,000 and book value of the machinery sold of $260,000 ($500,000 original cost – $240,000 accumulated depreciation), the proceeds from the sale of the machinery were $360,000 ($100,000 gain + $260,000 book value). For 20X7, CFI was an outflow of $40,000 ($360,000 sale proceeds – $400,000 machinery purchase). The $600,000 financed by the seller is a non-cash transaction and is reported in the notes to the cash flow statement.
