We won't do this for you as the rules of the site require you do your own homework. We are here to guide you and to check your work. I will get you started. The indirect method starts with Net Income, and it is adjusted for Income Statement items that don't require cash flow (such as depreciation) and Balance Sheet items that do affect cash flow. A good place for you to start is to calculate the difference in your balance sheet items and then determine which items on the Balance Sheet and Income Statement are going to affect cash versus those that won't. If you'll do that and show your work, we can see if you are understanding so far.
