I can only answer the first question now:

Net income + Decrease in accounts receivable - Increase in inventory + Increase in accounts payable -Decrease in wages payable + Increase in deferred taxes  + Depreciationo - Profit from the sale of fixed assets = 1220

for your answer need to substract Profit from the sale of fixed assets for it not from operation.
