I just posted that in post #2, which obviously you ignored.

SamiBrady, two things. One, it's cash flows. You have to concentrate on the actual cash received. Did you receive 8000?

Second, selling equipment isn't an operating activity. That has to do with your day-to-day operations, so related to your sales and purchases and everyday expenses, and the asset/liability accounts that go along with that, such as A/R, A/P, inventory.

Investing activities are basically all assets that aren't current. Assets are what the company invests in.

Financing activities are all liabilities that aren't current and all equity. Financing means how the company financed themselves, thru either debt or equity.
