-$15,000

Explanation:

The computation of financing cash flows for the current year is shown below:-

For computing the financing cash flows first we need to find out the dividend paid

Dividend paid = Retained earnings 2021 + Net income - Retained earning 2022

= $912,500 + $450,000 - $1,162,500

= $200,000

Financing cash flow = Issue bonds payable - Repayment of Mortgage payable - Dividend paid

= $235,000 - $50,000 - $200,000

= - $15,000

Therefore, for computing the financing cash flow for the current year we simply applied the above formula.
