    c. $600 interest expense and zero cash outflow from operating activities.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

    = Borrowed amount * rate of interest * number of months : total number of months in a year

    = $36,000 * 5% * 4 months : 12 months

    = $600

    This four months are calculated from September 1 to December 31

    In the income statement, the interest expense is recorded for $600 but in the operating activity there is no effect
