问题如下:
Company A reported interest expense of $27 million and income tax expense of $3 million. What's the amount of interest paid and taxes paid respectively if interest payable decreased by $5 million and taxes payable increased by $1 million?
选项:
Interest paid Taxes paid
A.
$22 million $4 million
B.
$32 million $4 million
C.
$32 million $2 million
解释:
C is correct. -Interest paid= -interest expense+△interest payable= -27+(-5)= -32. -Taxes paid= -taxes expense+△taxes payable= -3+1= -2.
为什么interest paid和tax paid前有负号呢
