Explanation / Answer

Answer:a.

Interest expense A/C Dr. (1670*10%*1/2) $83.5 million

       To Discount on bonds payable A/C              $7.9 million

      To Cash A/C (1680*9%*1/2)                        $75.6 million

Answer:b Agee would report the cash inflow of $1670 million from the sale of the bonds as a cash inflow from financing activities in its statement of cash flows.

The $75.6 million cash interest paid is cash outflow from operating activities because interest is an income statement (operating) item.
