Answer 1

		Debit	Credit
Jun-30	Cash	$       3.20
	Discount on bond investment	$       0.10
	Interest revenue		$       3.30
Dec-31	Cash	$       3.20
	Discount on bond investment	$       0.11
	Interest revenue		$       3.31

4) 66 +0.10 +0.11 = 66.21

5)  Operating cash flow = 3.2 +3.2 =6.4  (inflow)

Investing cash flow = 66 ( Outflow)
