Explanation / Answer

You just need to go line by line with each asset/liability item. For example, a/r went up by $21k so that was a $21k use of cash. This is because when the company sold their product they extended credit to their customers instead of collecting cash. Inventory went down by $14k so that was a source of cash. Instead of stuff sitting around in their warehouse it was sold and is therefore a source of cash. This stuff is hard, I feel for ya. Best of luck, hope I helped a little!
