A. B. C. D.D
Items a, e, f, g and h are financing items. However, remember that item g, gain on bonds retired, is an extraordinary item under SFAS 4 and presented after-tax.
Hence, the total cash spent on retiring bonds = 400 - 25/(1-0.5) = 350.Therefore, financing cash flow = -60 + 225 - (400 - 25/0.5) - 195 = - 380.
