    - $140,000

    Explanation:

    The Cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - Net new borrowing

    = Interest paid - (Ending Long term debt - Beginning Long term debt)

    = $100,000 - ($1,700,000 - $1,460,000)

    = $100,000 - $240,000

    = - $140,000

    Therefore, the cash flow to creditors is - $140,000.
