Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To calculate the net increase in cash, we need to use the following formula:

Net Income + Depreciation Expense - Loss on Sale of Equipment + Decrease in Accounts Receivable - Decrease in Prepaid Expenses - Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Wages Payable - Increase in Equipment - Decrease in Notes Payable

Plugging in the given numbers, we get:

$305,000 + $93,700 - $10,000 + (-$40,200) - (-$10,200) + $15,200 - (-$12,500) - $75,000 - (-$100,000) = $206,400

Therefore, the net increase in cash for the year is $206,400. The correct answer is D.
