    hii Harsh Mehta

    The trick in this question is depriciation calculation
    which it is calculated as follow : the old equipment purhased at 60,000$ the carrying value is 53,000$ that mean the accumalted depriciation is 7,000$ for this equipment which we need substract it from the total accumalted depriciation which was 70,000$ leave  the total accumalted depriciation at the beginig of the year is 63,0000$ and the ending is 83,000$ that is mean the depriciation expenced throughout the year is 20,000$ which we need to add it back to the net income figure, so the final calculation is
    net income 82,000$ + change in account recievable 6,000$ - change in inventory (12,000) - change in account payable (3,000) +change in  the accumalted depriciation for the year 20,000$ = 93,000$.
    i think this is the correct answer for this question if you find different answer please reply the correct one.

    hii Harsh Mehta
    sorry i did not take into account the gain for selling the equipment  which it need to substract it from net income because it is not from operating activitirs, that leaves the last answer that i calcualated which it was 93,000$ need to substract the gain (10,000) so the correct answer is 83,000$.
    best regards,,
