$2,321

Explanation:

For computing the net cash flow from financing activities, first we have to determine the net income and then the dividend amount which is shown below:

Net income =  Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Operating Expenses - Depreciation Expense - Interest Expense - Taxes

= $46,835 - $18,209 - $18,172 - $2,760 - $417 - $2,775

= $4,052

Now the dividend would be computed below:

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

$29,912 = $28,963 + $4,052 -  dividend paid

$29,912 = $33,015 -  dividend paid

So, the dividend would be

= $33,015 - $29,912

= $3,103

Cash flow from Financing activities  

Add: Increase in Common Stock $1,016        ($12,878 - $11,862)

Add: Current Portion Long-term Debt $55        ($5,066 - $5,011)

Less: Decrease in Long-term Debt -$1,171       ($13,767 - $14,938)

Add: Increase in Notes Payable $5,524       ($9,870 - $4,346)

Less: Dividend Paid  $3,103

Net Cash flow from Financing activities        $2,321
