Oscar Everett · Answer 1

Cash Flow due to financing activities in second year is negative = - $377 million

Explanation:

Format of Cash flow statement is as follows:

Cash Generated From Operating Activities

Add: Cash Generated From Investing Activities

Add: Cash Generated From Financing Activities

Add: Opening Balance of Cash

= Closing Balance of Cash

Now, putting all the values as stated above Amount in million

Cash Generated From Operating Activities = $1,053

Add: Cash Generated From Investing Activities = - $576

Add: Cash Generated From Financing Activities = x

Add: Opening Balance of Cash = $180

= Closing Balance of Cash = $280

That means $477 + x + $180 = $280

$657 - $280 = - x

$377 = - x

x = $377

Thus Cash Flow due to financing Activities in second year = - $377 million
