Net cash by operating activities is $1,877,800.

Explanation:

To report the net cash using the indirect method for the preparation of the statement of cash flows, we need to adjust the net income with changes in balance sheet accounts to arrive at the amount of cash generated by operating activities.

The depreciation of the year doesn't imply cash, so we have to add that amount to the net income.

As the accounts receivable decreased, we earned money, so we have to add that to the net income.

Accounts payable decreased, so we paid money, we have to substruct that to the net income.
