Answers:

The differences of sources and uses can be explained in the book by "One tool that can be used to help you identify money inflows and outflows of a hospitality business is to calculate its sources and uses of funds from its balance sheets from last period to this period. Sources represent inflows and uses represent outflows of funds for the hospitality business" (Dopson 147).

b. Net Recievables, "Money owed by customers to a business calculated after subtracting any amounts that may not be collectable" (Dopson 480), also increases resulting in a use of funds as well. The amount that it was increased by was $30,000.

c. Notes payable decreased which ended up becoming a use of funds increasing by $44,000. The book states that "Notes payable are short-term loans (less than a year). If you decrease notes payable by paying back money you borrowed, this is a use of funds for you" (Dopson 151).

d. The retained earnings, "Accumulated account of profits over the life of the business that have not been distributed as dividends" (Dopson 483), increased which resulted in a sourceof funds. This was incrased by $104,000.
