Greg Rhoda and Debra Sondgeroth are examining the following statement of cash flows for K.K. Bean Trading Company for the year ended January 31, 1998:

Greg claims that K.K. Bean's statement of cash flows is an excellent portrayal of a superb first year with cash increasing \(\$ 85,000\). Debra replies that it was not a superb first year-but, rather, that the year was an operating failure, that the statement is presented incorrectly, and that \(\$ 85,000\) is not the actual increase in cash. The cash balance at the beginning of the year was \(\$ 140,000\).
\section*{Instructions}

(a) With whom do you agree, Greg or Debra? Explain your position.

(b) Using the data provided, prepare a statement of cash flows in proper form using the indirect method. The only noncash items in the income statement are depreciation and the gain from the sale of the investment.
