1. Operating cash flow is 1322 mil USD > 0 which means the company gains
profit from its operating activities. Besides, the CF to investors is positive
too, which means investors of the Warf Company are paid dividends and
the company has profit enough to cover all business activities. Investing
activities has the negative cash flow (-810<0) which means the company
has been doing investing activities and especially fixed assets - which will
generate benefit for the company in the future.

2. Both types of cash flow, accounting and financial, are equally important to
the business. Positive results within the cash flow statements suggest the
business’s finances are managed very well (Lee & Parker, 2013). More
accurate results are detailed in the financial statements of cash flow. The
company’s real cash flow positions are highlighted in the results. The
degree of cash flow can be used in order to service long-term debt and
financing costs, and this can be seen in the financial statement of cash flow.
Furthermore, the only major different between the financial statement of
cash flow and the accounting statement of cash flow is the interest
payment (whether it is listed in the operating section or financing section).
However, with this case, the interest expense is meager ($105) so this
would not affect much on the importance of the results from both
statement of cash flow.

3. Nick’s expansion plans are appropriate and favorable. It will allow the
company to gain more profit:
 Positive cash flow, high revenue and return in investment that will make
the company more attractive to investors and creditors in order to gain
more outside finance
 Income and capital are also expanding: net income is $896 and fixed assets
increase $619
 Business resources are also utilized appropriately and company
management is proving beneficial in future expansion.
