Okay,
If I am doing this correct, I have to categorize these seven items into the three categories, IA, FA, or OA. So, did I do these right and then what?
a. The loss on the cash sale of equipment is 2,250.
b. Sold equipment costing 56,875 with accumulated depr. Of 18, 125 for 14,687 cash.
c. purchased equipment costing 76375 by paying 15,000 cash and signing a long-term note payable for the balance
d. borrowed 4740 cash by signing a short term note payable
e. pd. 21,276 cash to reduce the long-term notes payable
f. issued 1500 shares of common stock for 15 cash per share
g. declared and pd. Cash dividends of 26,521
Okay, I put a-c in investing activities and d-g in financial activities. I know that I am doing this from scratch and I don't know why this frightens me so.
By the way this is supposed to be an indirect cash flows statement

Cash flows from operating activities:
Cash received from customers
Deduct cash payments for expenses and payments to creditors
Net cash flow from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities:
Cash payments for purchase of land
Cash flows from financing activities:
Cash received from issuing stock
Deduct cash dividends
Net cash flow from financing activities
Net cash flow, and November 2XXX, cash balance
Example of how to set it up^^^^^^
On the balance sheet, your net cash flow and cash balance ( last line on statement of cash flows) is the cash under assets on your balance sheet
You need the income statement to get the net income to create a statement of retained earnings for the balance sheet
Start with the last line on the statement of cash flows and work your way up

Okay, start at the bottom and work my way up. Hummmm, ill try it.
I already have an income statement and balance sheet. My net income is 73750 and my retained earnings is 129,750. I guess I should know what to do with these figures but I don't.

a. The loss on the cash sale of equipment is 2,250.
-the loss on sale of eqpt would be added back to the OA cash flow
b. Sold equipment costing 56,875 with accumulated depr. Of 18, 125 for 14,687 cash.
-the sales value would be added to IA and if there's a gain it woul be deducted in OA, if loss added to OA
c. purchased equipment costing 76375 by paying 15,000 cash and signing a long-term note payable for the balance
-the downpayment would be deducted in IA. The N/p will have no effect on the statement
d. borrowed 4740 cash by signing a short term note payable
-this would be an addition in the FA
e. pd. 21,276 cash to reduce the long-term notes payable
-deduction from the FA
f. issued 1500 shares of common stock for 15 cash per share
-under FA, added
g. declared and pd. Cash dividends of 26,521
-FA deduction
basically if it is transaction that involves the generation of profit or expenses of the company, ot would be under operating activities. (current assets, current liabily)
if it the cash flow is related to long term investments (i.e PPE, equity securities, etc.) the it would be classified under investing activities.
and for financing activities, the long term debt and equity account.

Try to solve first the net income.
After that, you can categorize the cash flow to its categories.

When you say that, solve the income first, is what confuses me because the net income is given in the problem- 73750.

Ahh. OK, I missed that he nest thing you should do now is to classify whether the transaction is an operting activity, investing activity, financing activity.
Basically in classifying accounts we consider the following, if it is primarily to generate income it should be classified in operating activities. This includes current assets and curret liabilities.
Based on you're given balances any increases in current assets shall be deducted in OA, decrease will be added to OA. And increases in current Liability shall be added to OA and vice versa.
For the investing activities it will be the non-current assets.
Increases shall be deducted, and decreases will be added.
For financing it will be the equity and long term debts.
Increase in equity and long term debts will be added and decreases will be deducted.
Now you can start you're classification.

Try to solve it first, the changes in the balances, show you're solution and help you in some areas that you don't get.
