Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The firms cash flow to creditors would be calculating by substracting the interest expense of the firm to the long-term debt taken during the period.

Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense – Net new LTD borrowing

Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense – (LTDend – LTDbeg)

Cash flow to creditors = –$85,000
