Find explanations below:

Explanation:

It must be understood that cash flow does not necessarily imply profit or loss.

A company may have been experiencing positive cash flows due selling mostly on a cash basis, whereas the price charged is lower than cost of per unit, hence it would have high amount of cash, whereas the bottom-line is nothing to write home about.

The cash paid on retirement which is $411,000 would impact financing activities as an outflow.

The $3000 unamortized discount would be deducted from net income
