Cash dividends were $2. The company did not issue any bonds or repurchase any of its own common stock during the year. The net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year was: ___________

Answer 1

$57

Step-by-step explanation:

Repayment of bond = Beginning balance - Ending balance

Repayment of bond = $154 - $89

Repayment of bond = $65 (Outflow)

Increase in common stock = Beginning balance - Ending balance

Increase in common stock = $57 - $47

Increase in common stock = $10 (Inflow)

Dividend paid = $2 (Outflow)

Net cash used in financing activities = Repayment of bond + Dividend paid - Increase in common stock

Net cash used in financing activities = $65 + $2 - $10

Net cash used in financing activities = $57

So, the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year was $57.
