Tutorial Note :
1. There is a mistake in the Problem. For the year 2020 the summation of the figures provided in Total Liabilities is wrong. As per the given data the total liabilities should have been $988 millions (i.e., $632+$356). However, the total provided in the problem is $987 millions. Therefore, we are going to solve the question assuming the figure of Long term debt as $355 instead of $356.
2. We are going to make the Cash Flow Statement irst and then we will find out the required answers to questions asked in the problem.
Cash Flow Statement for the year 2020
A : Cash from Operating Activities in 2020 ($millions) :

C : Cash from Financing Activities in 2020 ($millions)
Receipt of Long term Debt [355-300] 55
Dividend paid (Balancing Figure) (Part-3)
(220)
Cash flow from Financing Activities (Refer Working Note-1)
(C) (165)
Net Change in Cash in 2020 (Part-4) 105
Working Note-1 : Computation of Cash Flow from Financing Activities
From Part-4 of our answer we can see that the Net change in Cash flow during 2020 shall be $105 millions
Again, From the above statement we have found following
data-
Cash flow from Operating Acitivities $390 millions
Cash flow from Investing Activities ($120) millions
Therefore, the Cash generated from Financing Activities shall be result in such an amount that would make the Net Change in Cash Flow as $105 millions.
Hence, Cash Flow from Financing Activities would be ($165) millions [$105 - $390-($120) ]
Therefore,
Part-1 : Cash from Operating Activities in 2020 = $390 millions
Part-2 : Cash from Investing Activities in 2020 = ($120) millions
Part-3 : Dividends paid during the year 2020 = $165 millions
Part-4 : Net Change in Cash
= Closing Cash Balance - Opening Cash Balance = $600 - $495 =
$105
Part-5 : Change in Net Operating Working Capital in 2020 = ($84) millions
Part-6 : Free Cash Flow in 2020
To find out Free cash flow we have to add non cash expenses with
Net Income
Hence, Free Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation &
Amortisation = $324 + $90 = $414 millions
