Answer 1

Bali Sales Company

Identifying events as asset source (AS), asset use (AU), asset exchange (AE), or claims exchange (CE):

Event Type Assets = Liab. + Equity Rev. - Exp. = Net Inc. Cash Flow Type

1. AE + - = NA + NA NA - NA = NA -0A

2. CE + = + + NA NA - NA = NA -OA

3. CE - = - + NA NA - NA = NA +OA

4a. AS + = NA + + + - NA = + +OA

4b. AU - = NA + - NA - + = - -OA

5. CE - = - + NA NA - NA = NA -OA

6a. AS + = NA + + + - NA = + +OA

6b. AU - = NA + - NA - + = - -OA

7. AU - = NA + - NA - - = - -OA

8. AU - = NA + - NA - - = - -OA

9. AE +- = NA + NA NA - NA = NA -OA

10. AU - = NA + - NA - - = - -OA
