Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production
equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales
Current sales = $300 million
Annual sales growth rate =32%
sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)
300 + 96= $396 million
Applying the equation
Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)
$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million

This question requires us to calculate cash flows from operations and net income. Each of them is calculated as follow.
Cash flows from operations
Cash flow from operation comprises of cash generated or spend on core business related purchase and sale. It will be calculated as follow.
Cash from operations = 25,000 - 100,000 =($ 75,000).

25,000 = 55,000 + net income + 10,000 - 75,000 - 250,000 + 170,000
Net income = 115,000
