Johns Inc. made a sale of $10,000 with a cost of goods sold at $7,000, resulting in a net profit of $3,000. However, the company has not yet collected the payment from the customer by year-end, affecting cash flow. The cash flow from this transaction is negative $7,000, reflecting the cost of the merchandise paid without receiving the sale proceeds. The correct interpretation of net profit and cash flow is option B: $3,000 and -$7,000, respectively. Clarification on cash flow concepts is essential for understanding financial statements.

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
