Explanation:

2018 2017

Available-for-sale debt securities (not cash equivalents) 22,000 98,000 INVESTING ACTIVITY

Accounts receivable 93,000 79,950 = -13,050

Inventory 178,000 156,700 = -21,300

Prepaid insurance 2,670 3,300 = 630

Land, buildings, and equipment 1,276,000 1,138,000, INVESTING ACTIVITY

Accumulated depreciation 623,000 585,000 = 38,000 + 13,700 = 51,700

Accounts payable $88,040 $161,670 = -73,630

Salaries payable 25,200 31,000 = -5,800

Notes payable (current) 36,700 88,000 = -51,300

Bonds payable 213,000 0 FINANCING ACTIVITY

2) Equipment costing $20,000 with a book value of $6,300 was sold for $7,950 = 13,700 added to accumulated depreciation, -1,650 gain on sale
