We have to find Western Country Corporation's net income, and cash balance at the end of 2018.

The answers are:

Net Income = $200 million

Ending cash balance = $100 million

Explanation:

Net income is equal to sales revenue - cost of goods sold - other expenses

Net Income = $850 million - $255 million - 425 million

= $200 million

Ending cash balance is equal to beginning cash + cash receipts (inflows) - cash payments (outflows)

Ending cash balance = $85 million + $710 million - $400 million - $285 million

= $110 million
