Answer :

Answer:

C. ​$(44 comma 000​)

Explanation:

The computation of cash flow from investing activity is shown below:

Purchase of equipment for cash ($63,000)

Sale of equipment ($19,000)

Net cash flow from investing activity = - $63,000 + $19,000 = - $44,000

In this activity, the purchase of fixed assets should be negative as it is an outflow of cash whereas the sale of fixed assets should be positive as it is an inflow of cash.
