    Solution

    Cash flow from acquisition and/or disposal of long- term assets like equipment, assets or investments, relate to cash from investing. Usually cash changes from investing are a “cash out” item, because cash is used to buy new equipment, buildings or short-term assets such as marketable securities. However, when a company divests off an asset, the transaction is considered “cash in” for calculating cash from investing.
