b.$7,200.
c.$7,400.
d.$7,800.

Answer 1

Option A. $7000

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that in the statement of cash flow, the interest expense for the year paid is an cash ouflow and must be deducted from the operating activities as it the companies borrow to finance its operations to perform better. Hence it is related to operating activities, so it must be deducted from the operating activities.

The interest paid at the end of the year is $7000 ($100,000 * 7%).
