Required:
Prepare the statement of cash flows for Surmise Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. Use the indirect method to present cash flows from operating activities because you do not have enough information to use the direct method. You should make reasonable assumptions about the reasons for changes in some account balances. A spreadsheet or T-account analysis will be helpful. (Hint: The right to use a building was acquired with a seven-year lease. Annual lease payments of $7 million are paid on January 1 of each year beginning in 2018.) (Enter your answers in millions (ie, 10,000,000 should be entered as 10). Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
