Patel Service Co. does make a few sales on account but is mostly
a cash business. Consequently, it uses the direct write-off method
to account for uncollectible accounts. During Year 1, Patel Service
Co. earned $31,200 of cash revenue and $7,800 of revenue on
account. Cash operating expenses were $29,756. After numerous
attempts to collect a $256 account receivable from Sam Stephens,
the account was determined to be uncollectible in Year 1.
Required:

Flow column, indicate whether the item is an operating activity
(OA), investing activity (IA), or financing activity (FA). Use NA
