Question

Madison Company issued an interest-bearing note payable with a face amount of $10,800 and a stated interest rate of 8% to the Metropolitan Bank on August 1, Year 1. The note carried a one-year term. The amount of cash flow from operating activities on the Year 1 statement of cash flows would be:

Answer 1

$360

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest Expense associated with the loan is the only operating cash flow. We need to calculate the interest expense first

As the note is issued on August 1, year 1, only 5 months has been passed on December 31, year 1, So we calculate the interest expense for only 5 months.

Interest Expense = Value of Note x Stated Interest rate x 5/12 = $10,800 x 8% x 5/12 = $360

It is assumed that the interest is paid on December 31, year 1.
