Question

A company reported that its bonds with a par value of $50,000 and a carrying value of $57,000 are retired for $60,000 cash, resulting in a loss of $3,000. The amount to be reported under cash flows from financing activities is:
a.$3,000 outflow.
b.$60,000 outflow.
c.$57,000 outflow.

Answer 1

Answer:

b.$60,000 outflow.

Explanation:

Cash flows from financing activities

Retiring value of bonds for cash    -$60,000

Cash flow from financing activities -$60,000

Since the cash flow statement records only cash transactions. So in the given case, the bonds are retired for $60,000 in cash that reflects the cash outflow and the same is to be presented on the financial statements
