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.

On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
