Answer: (a) $295 million
(b) $326 million
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $900 million during 2016
Cash = $871 million
Cost of goods sold = $280 million
Expenses for the year totaled = $325 million

Beginning cash = $115 million
(a) Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Expenses for the year totaled
= $900 - $280 - $325
= $295 million
(b) Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016:

= $871 + $115 - $375 - $285
