1. operating activities: 820 investing activities: -430 financing activities: -180 total: 210 At the end of Year 1: 140 At the end of Year 2: 350
2. From what I can see, 1st Year - $140 M 2nd year - $350 M Difference - $210 M Net Cash from Operating Activities $820 M Net Cash from Investing Activities $430 M Operating - Investing + Financing = Net increase in Cash. 820 - 430 + ? = 210 390 + ? = 210 390 - 210 = $180 M in Financing Activities To check: 430 +180 + 210 = 820
