johntan1979 If the questions stated that the asset was purchased for $45,000, then the answer is $42,000 net cash outflow.
johntan1979 Loss on sale = book value - amount sold = $1,000

This is ADDED back to net income under indirect method.

Depreciated value = cost - book = $41,000

This is ADDED to depreciation expense, which is then ADDED back to net income.
