Explanation:

balance sheet accounts receivable:

year 1: sales - collected 172,000 - 159,000 = 13,000

year 2: beginning balance + sales - collected

            13,000               +  222,000 - 189,000 = 46,000

Cash flow: we subtract from the amount collected the cash disbursements.

The income statment will be done based on the amount billed and the expenses accrued during each period, regardless of the time of collection/payment

*Utilities expense:

year 1 incurrent 34,500 cost and paid 29,000 so there is a 4,500 payable which is set on year 2.

*Insurance expense:

59,700 is thecost for three years, so we divide by three to get the value of one year.  59,700 / 3 = 19,900
