Explanation / Answer

Dividend payable as of 12/31/12 will be paid in 2013. So the cash dividends paid to shareholders during 2013 is $33.

Allowance for doubtful accounts as of 12/31/12 is -$11 and as of 12/31/13 is -$36. So the accounts receivable written off during 2013 is $36 - $11 = $25

Depreciation expense for the 2013 will be the difference in accumulated depreciation as of 2012 and 2013. That will be $323 - $270 = $53

Income tax expense for the year will be the income taxes payable as of 12/31/13 i.e. $47.

So the sales revenue for 2013, will be as follows:

Sales Revenue = Net Income – Gain on sale of assets + Income Tax expense + Depreciation expense + Bad Debt expense + Cost of Goods Sold = $174 - $35 + $47 + $53 + $30 + $210 = $479

As per the cash flow, there is only sale of asset and there are no purchase of assets. So the reduction in the value of Property, Plan t and equipment will be the historical cost of the equipment sold. The Value of Property, Plant and equipment on 12/31/12 is $886 and on 12/31/13 is $660. The difference of $886 - #660 = $226 will be the Historical cost of the equipment sold during 2013.

Gain on sale of equipment reported in the income statement is $35 (net of $15 tax). So actual gain is $35 + $15 = $50

Cash received from sale of equipment reported in the cash flow statement under Investing activities is $250. Gain is calculated using the formula,

Gain = Sale price – Net book value

$50 = $250 – Net book value

Net book value = $250 - $50 = $200

So the Net book value of the equipment sold during 2013 is $200.

To summarize, the answers in $millions are as follows:
