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.
