Answer: C. Westlake Corporation generated a positive cash flow from operations , but an even a greater amount was used to invest in fixed assets , resulting in a need to raise funds through financing activities.
Explanation:
From the Cashflows of Westlake shown here, we see that the cashflow from operations is $592. This means that there was a positive cashflow from operations.
$1,066 was however used to invest in fixed assets which is higher than the cash generated from operating cashflow.
As a result, the company did not have enough cash to finance the fixed assets and so they raised money through financing activities by acquiring debt of $643.
