Expert Answer
Cash provided by Operating Activities = $800,000
Depreciation Expense = $380,000
Decrease in Accounts Receivable = $110,000
Increase in Accounts Payable = $60,000
Cash provided by Operating Activities = Net Income (loss) + Depreciation Expense + Decrease in Accounts Receivable + Increase in Accounts Payable
$800,000 = Net Income (loss) + $380,000 + $110,000 + $60,000
Net Income (loss) = $250,000
So, Net Income in the Fiscal Year 2017 is $250,000
