(1) Recognition of revenue on account.

(2) Collection of cash from accounts receivable.

(3) Recognition of uncollectible accounts expense through a year-end adjusting entry.

(4) Write-off of uncollectible accounts.

In the cash flow column, indicate whether the item is an operating activity (OA), an investing activity (IA), or a financing activity (FA). The first transaction is entered as an example.
