A. $250,000
B. $180,000

The cash flow statements summarize cash and cash equivalents entering and living the business. A cash flow statement operates on cash accounting basis. It means transactions are recorded when cash changes hands, either inwards or outwards.
In this transaction, only $250,000 will be recorded on the cash flow statement as it is a cash inflow. The credit sales transactions will not be recorded. It is not a cash transaction.
