Option2 &4. a. decrease b. outflow operating
Thank you gentlemen for your answers. The correct answer is B and D. Decrease in equity and outflow from operating activities.
Interest expense when incurred will decrease net income. Net income is closed to retained earnings (which is an equity account). Should there be no interest expense, equity would be higher.
While loan proceeds and principal repayments are financing activities, interest paid should be reflected as outflow from operating activities.
2nd &4th are Correct. Because Interest to Bond Holders is an expense which will reduce and net profit and hence the equity, and its payment will reduce the cash.
Answer number2 &4 decrease equity and decrease cash out flow from operating
