Solution

The correct answer is c. The repayment of the principal portion of the loan is a cash flow belonging in the “financing activities” section; the interest payment belongs either in the “operating activities” section or the “financing activities” section.

This is because the repayment of the principal amount of a loan is a financing activity, as it is related to changes in the size and composition of the financial structure of the entity. On the other hand, interest payments can be classified either as operating activities, because they enter into the determination of net profit or loss, or as financing activities, because they are costs of obtaining financial resources.
