Answer: $(60,000)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a company reported that its bonds with a par value of $40,000 and a carrying value of $52,000 are retired for $60,000 cash, resulting in a loss of $8,000.
The amount to be reported under cash flows from financing activities will be $60,000. This is the amount from the question that the bonds are retired for.
