    Solution

    Cash flow from company’s capital structure i.e. changes in equity, debt, loans or dividends are accounted for in cash from financing. Changes in cash from financing are “cash in” when capital is raised, and they are “cash out” when dividends are paid. Thus, if a company issues a bond to the public, the company receives cash financing; however, when interest is paid to bondholders, the company is reducing its cash.
