[求助]请问interest expense到底是不是operating face, 书, accounting, principles, financing

晚来风急

书上明确表示 GAAP下interest paid,received,dividends received 都是operating的，只有dividends paid 是financing的

但是做的题中如mock  morning 54中提到interest expense是finance的，

而且volumn2 里Exam2 Afternoon 169说 interest expense和interest income都是non-operating 的

这是为什么呢？
