Solution

The cash flow amount that should be reported in the operating activities section reported under the direct method is $52,000.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. Calculate the book value of the machine: Cost of the machine - Accumulated depreciation = 144,000144,000 - 92,000 = $52,000.

  2. Compare the book value with the sale price: If the machine is sold for more than its book value, there would be a gain, and if it's sold for less, there would be a loss. In this case, the machine is sold for 64,000,whichismorethanitsbookvalueof64,000, which is more than its book value of 52,000.

  3. However, under the direct method of reporting cash flows, only the actual cash received is reported in the operating activities section. Therefore, the cash flow amount to be reported is $52,000.
