Currently working on a DCF for GM. I'm putting together the financial statement model, but the balance sheet in my model doesn't balance. Cell B163 shows I'm off around $5.561. I checked the Cash Flow Statement with all the balance sheet items, but I'm still off.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
