Question

During the past year, Arther Anderson Services paid $360,800 in interest along with $48,000 in dividends. The company issued $230,000 of stock and $200,000 of new debt. The company reduced the balance due on the old debt by $225,000. What is the amount of the cash flow to creditors

Answer 1

Answer: $385800

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the cash flow to creditors will be calculated thus:

Begining total liabilities = $225000

Ending total liabilities = $200000

Interest = $360800

Cash flow to creditors will be:

= Begining total liabilities - Ending total liabilities + Interest

= $225000 - $200000 + $360800

= $385800
