Final answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The transaction described in the scenario is a financial transaction. In this case, Murph's Clown Shop (MCS) and Big Top Tents (BTT) are engaging in a business transaction involving the exchange of money. Any transaction that involves a change in the ownership of financial assets and may not necessarily be tied to physical goods or direct services.
Without specific details of the transaction between MCS and BTT, we cannot accurately classify the transaction. If they exchanged services or products without the use of money, it would be a barter transaction. If one party provided services or goods in exchange for monetary payment, it would be a monetary transaction.
