<reasoning>

Identify the classification of noncurrent liabilities

Using the Statement of Cash Flows knowledge point

Transactions involving noncurrent liabilities (such as issuing or retiring long-term debt) represent financing activities, not investing activities. Investing activities primarily involve the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets.

Analyze the netting and presentation rules

Using the Statement of Cash Flows knowledge point

Cash inflows (increases) and cash outflows (decreases) from financing activities must generally be reported separately (gross) rather than netted together as a single line item. Therefore, the statement is incorrect on both accounts: these transactions belong under financing activities, and they are reported gross rather than netted.
