Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash amount loaned = $36,000

Rate of interest on note = 5%

Time period: From September 1, Year 1 to December 31, Year 1 = 4 months

Amount of Interest revenue:

= Cash amount loaned × Interest rate × Time period

= $36,000 × 0.05 × (4/12)

= $36,000 × 0.05 × (1/3)

= $599.9 or $600

There is no cash flow from operating activity in respect of loan given to another company and interest revenue accrued on loan amount.
