need-to-decipher-information-in-statement-of-cash-flows

I have 7 questions that need to be answered concerning Walgreens’ 2018/2017/2016 financials, more specifically the statement of cash flows. Walgreens’ financial statements are all available online for all to see. They will need to be compared using 2016 and 2017 financial statements as well. These questions should be answered and put into essay form. The essay should be no more than 2 pages; more than likely it will be 2 pages once the information is consolidated. Please provide references/pages from where the financial information was obtained.

1. were there significant changes in the company’s operating cash flows? what were the reasons for these changes?

2. were there significant changes in the company’s investing cash flows? what were the reasons for these changes?

3. were there significant changes in the company’s financing cash flows? what were the reasons for these changes?

4. what were the most significant sources of cash?

5. what were the most significant uses of cash?

6. what were the most significant reasons for the differences between net income and cash flows from operating services?

7. were there any other significant observations from your review of the statements of cash flows?

To assist you in your responses, consult both the management discussion analysis (MD&A) and notes to the financial statements sections of the annual reports.

Thank you for your help.
