| Thorne91 | im confused why is it not Investing, Financing, Operating |
| r3v3r3n6o | Hi Thorne91, dividends paid are in Financing, but the question states dividends are received from the previous investment, so they are treated as interests, and therefore, included in Operating. |
| syazwan21 | The way I think of it is simply anything that affects net income in the income statement reflects CFO which is why dividends and interest RECEIVED are considered under CFO. |
| choas69 | @Thorne91: interest and dividends received and interest expenses are reflected in the income statement therefore they are in CFO. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
