4) Since these bonds are considered held to maturity securities, they are reported at carrying value in the balance sheet, the market value does not affect the investment account.
These bonds will be reported as non-current assets as:
Investment in bonds for $82.205 million
5) Interest revenue ($8.205 million) is included in the income statement, and therefore, it will increase the company's net income and operating cash flows. The $82 million paid for the bonds will decrease the cash flows from investing activities.
