Answer:

Incorrect Statement about the Statement of Cash Flows:

c. The cash dividends of $201,000 paid will be reported as a cash outflow in the cash flow from investing activities section.

Explanation:

Cash dividends of $201,000 will be reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section and not the investing activities section.

Statement of Cash Flows is broadly divided into three, the operating, investing, and financing activities sections.  The operating activities section show the cash flows from the normal business of the enterprise.  The investing activities section shows the acquisition and disposal of investments made by the company in cash.  While, the financing section shows the inflow and outflow of cash resulting from the funding of the business by stockholders and noncurrent creditors.
