Answer 1

what amount should Reve report as net cash used in investing activities?

a. $170,000

Step-by-step explanation:

It will be the proceeds from the sale of equipment 10,000

notice we are following the cash in the cash flow statment, regardless of the amount earned or loss, we will post the cash received from the sale.

And the purchase of AS Inc. Bonds 180,000

those bonds have a face value of 200,000

but were purchase at 180,000

That is the amount we should use in the cash flow statment.

The carrying value of the bonds is not relevant.
