amazing video

[@avasprose5962]

This was really helpful. Thank you! Just have one question on the Cash Flow statements - How did you arrive at the figure for the Beginning Cash?

[@jeffcannon7380]

Look at your cash from your balance sheet at the beginning and end of the period. You can then use the difference between the two to double-check that it matches the net cash calculated in your cash flow statement.

[@yangadam7664]

Wish i had an accounting teacher like that, rather than a grumpy one. Accounting would have been more practical then. Being able to understand accounts from a clearer picture.

Can't believe no one else noticed this. The Disney balance sheet also says they have 4,150 Billion cash on hand.
