Which of the following is shown on the indirect method statement of cash flows but not the direct method statement of cash flows? Select one: a. 10% Stock Dividend b. Dividends Paid c. Amortization of Premium on Bonds Payable d. Proceeds from Sale of Fixed Asset e. Purchase of Treasury Stock

Answer 1

c. Amortization of Premium on Bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the indirect method statement of cash flows, net income is taken as base and then adjusted for various non cash items like depreciation and amortization etc, whereas under direct method of statement of cash flows only the cash transactions i.e. cash receipts and cash expenses are considered. Hence Since option C is only the non cash item in this question is shown on the indirect method and all the other options i.e. a,b,d and e being cash items are shown under both the methods of cash flows.
