3. A patent was purchased for $46,725.

4. During the year, machinery that had a cost basis of $51,086 and on which there was accumulated depreciation of $16,198 was sold for $28,035. No other plant assets were sold during the year.

5. The 12%, 20-year bonds were dated and issued on January 2, 2000. Interest was payable on June 30 and December 31. They were sold originally at 106. These bonds were retired at 100.9 plus accrued interest on March 31, 2012.

6. The 8%, 40-year bonds were dated January 1, 2012, and were sold on March 31 at 97 plus accrued interest. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Expense of issuance was $2,613.

9. Interest paid in 2012 was $32,708 and income taxes paid were $105,910.

From the information given, prepare a statement of cash flows using the indirect method. A worksheet is not necessary, but the principal computations should be supported by schedules or general ledger accounts. The company uses straight-line amortization for bond interest.
