Net cash flows from operating activities$196,000

Explanation:

In preparing the cash flows from operations, the net income has to come first. Being that depreciation expense and loss on sale of land are non-cash items, they would be added back to the net income (because they reduced the net income before). The idea is just to get the actual cash flows.

Then, a decrease in account receivable means that more cash has been received. This would be added to your operating activities.

Thirdly, there was a decrease in inventory, implying an increase in turnover, which translates to cash receipt / inflows.

Lastly, an increase in account payable means you hold on to cash, you are yet to settle your obligations. So, no cash outflows in this regard.
