c) $345,000 would be shown as an increase in the Financing Section.

d) $260,000 would be shown as an increase in the Financing Section, the $250,000 would be shown as an increase in the Investing Section, and the $165,000 would be shown as a decrease in the Operating Section.

Answer 1

Option (c) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net impact in Cash flow statement (Cash flow financial activities will be:

= Amount received from issuing bonds + Amount received from issuing common stock + Paid for dividend

= $250,000 + $260,000 + $165,000

= $345,000

Note:

Long-term bond & issue of common stock are Cash inflow from financial operations.

Dividend paid is regarded as Cash outflow from financial operations.
