    The correct answer is e. - $4,940.

    Explanation:

    This problem requires us to calculate the amount of the cash flow to creditors. The cash flow to creditor means all payment made to creditors in form of interest payment or principal payment. The amount borrowed is deducted from it. The detail calculation is given below.

    Interest = Earning before interest and taxes - Net income - Taxes

    Interest = 27,130 - 16,220 - 5,450

    Interest = $ 5,460

    Cash flow to creditors = 31,600 + 5,460 - 42,000 = - $ 4,940
