5、Interest expense is reported on the income statement as a function of:

answer：

第一题：solution：C

answer：Barracuda reported a $4,000 net outflow from financing activities [2,000 options* ($12 average market price-$10 exercise price)]. However, since the options are a form of compensation, the $4,000 outflow should be reclassified as an operating activity for analytical purposes. This is accomplished by increasing financing cash flow $4,000 and

decreasing operating cash flow $4,000.

第二题：solution：B

answer：Leasing the asset with an operating lease avoids recognition of the debt on the lessee’s balance sheet. Having fewer assets and liabilities on the balance sheet than would exist if the assets were purchased increases profitability ratios (e.g., return on assets) and decreases leverage ratios (e.g., debt-to-equity ratio). In the case of a finance lease, the assets are reported on the balance sheet and are depreciated.

第三题：solution：B

answer：Interest revenues are calculated by multiplying the implicit interest rate by net receivables at the beginning of the period.

第四题：solution：C

5

answer：Cash flow from investing is not affected by a lease being either a finance or an operating lease. Finance leases reduce cash flow from operations by only the portion of the lease payment attributed to interest expense. Cash flow from financing is reduced by the rest of the finance lease payment which is the principal part of the payment.

第五题：solution：A

answer：Interest expense is always equal to the book value of the bond at the beginning of the period multiplied by the market rate at issuance.
