Net cash flows from investing activities = cash inflows from investing activities - cash outflows from investing activities = $240,000 (sale of equipment) - $0 (no investment made) = $240,000

Net cash flows from investing activities includes all the outflows used to make investments during the year or the inflows generated from existing investments. This includes investments in other companies, investments in real property and investment in machinery and equipment.
