From the information given, prepare a statement of cash flows using
the indirect method. A worksheet is not necessary, but the
principal computations should be supported by schedules or general
ledger accounts. The company uses straight-line amortization for
bond interest.
I need help with computing the "Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information" part I have to do.
