    d) Operating. You're confusing the sale itself with the GAIN on the sale. Gains & losses, and depreciation, all go into the operating section. The gain is reflected in the net income figure, but is not part of operations -- it belongs with the sale amount in the investing section -- so we subtract that to adjust it out of the net income amount. Depreciation is also reflected in the net income amount, having been an expense that came out. Depreciation is a non-cash item (i.e. no cash was paid for it), so that also needs removed from net income, by adding it back in. (Deprecation same as (f) for amortization -- same reason.)

    g) An exchange is a significant non-cash event, and does not go in any of the sections. (Significant non-cash events are listed separately at the bottom of the statement.)

    e) If using "a cash & cash equivalent method" means that cash equivalents are lumped in with cash for the sake of the cash balance, then you would be exchanging cash for a cash equivalent. The entire statement is the change in cash -- i.e. it's not an item to be listed. The three sections are going to net out to the change in cash. If cash equivalents are included in that, then this is true of these treasury bills also. Think of it like exchanging some quarters for some dollar bills. You wouldn't report that. You're simply exchanging something for something else in the same category.

    Everything else is correct.
