Quick Accounting Question!

Hi y'all. Just had a quick accounting Q. What happens to the 3 financial statements when a company has an asset write-up of $100mm? My thought process was as follows, but obviously incorrect since B/S doesn't balance. I/S - pre-tax income rises by $100mm, assuming 20% tax rate NI rises by $80mm. Moving to CF Statement, NI rises by $80mm and we add back the write-up due to being a non-cash expense (assuming I'm wrong here?) so CFO is up by $180mm. Net change in cash is up $180mm. Moving to B/S, cash is up $180mm on asset side. On liabilities and shareholder's equity side, SE is up $80mm. Just wanted to see where I went wrong here since missing $100mm.

You need to subtract out the non-cash increase of 100 from cash from ops. You have it as add it, that's double counting it. Fix that and it should flow
