The correct answer is:

$312,000 (c.)

Explanation:

operating cash flow is the number of cash generated by a business' regular operating activities within a specific time period.

The formula for net operating cash flow is as follows:

Operating cash flow = Net income + Non-cash expenses - increase in working capital

Net income = $250,000

Non-cash expenses = increase in salary payable + decrease in inventory + depreciation in expenses

Non-cash expenses = 50,000 + 30,000 + 45,000 = $125,000

increase in working capital = increase in accounts receivable + increase in prepaid insurance

increase in working capital = 60,000 + 3,000

increase in working capital = $63,000

∴ Operating cash flow = 250,000 + 125,000 - 63,000 = $312,000

Cash flow from activities = $312,000
