What this question trains
This problem practices a core accounting concept in banking interviews, understanding how activity on one statement flows through the others. Candidates need to know how net income feeds into cash flow, how changes in working capital and investing or financing actions affect balance sheet accounts, and how items such as retained earnings, debt, and depreciation link profitability to ending balances. Interviewers ask this because strong financial modeling depends on seeing the three statements as one integrated system, not three separate reports.
