Cash Flow from working capital change
| Cash increases | Cash Decreases | |

| inventory | 115 | |
| Current Libilities | 200 | |
| Total | 315 | 170 | 
Net Cash inflow from working capital change = $315-$170 = $145
Cash Flow from Financial activity
(long term debt) = $3200 (2017) - $3100 (2018) = $100 cash outflow
Dividend paid = $79 cash outflow
Cash Flow from investing Activity(Net Fixed Assets) = $6000(2017) - ($5700+330)(2018) = $30 cash Outflow
Non Cash Item = $330 (Depriciation)
Total Cash flow for company = Net profit + non cash Item + Cash from working capital change + cash from investing + cash From financial + opening cash - closing cash
= $158.4 + $330 + $145 -$100- $79 -$30 +$250 - $150
=$524. 4 or $524
Total cash flow for stakeholders = company's cash flow + dividend
= $524 + $79
= $603
