Answer:
b. $7,270,000.
Explanation:
net income 5,400,000
patent amort 45,000
depreciation 1,650,000
premium on bonds 65,000
bad debt expense 110,000
total 7,270,000
We should remove the non.monetary terms
the patent , depreication and allwance for doubful account do not represent cash erogation so they most be removed.
Same is true for the premium on bonds which makes for a lower interest expense than the amount of interest paid so it should also be taking into consideration as an element to remove.
