A) $380,650 is way too low for a cash flow statement!

Just a heads up, the indirect method can be tricky!

I vaguely recall that we need to look at the changes in accounts receivable and inventory, but I’m a bit confused about how they affect the cash flow calculation.

I feel like the answer might be around $545,350, but I can't quite remember how to get there. Did we have to subtract any losses or add gains?

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to add back depreciation and adjust for changes in working capital. I hope I can recall those adjustments correctly.

I remember the indirect method starts with net income and adjusts for non-cash items, but I'm not sure about the specific adjustments here.
