The purchase and sale of equipment are investing activities. The firm spent $20,000 cash to buy equipment and received $18,000 cash (net book value was
$13,000 plus $5,000 gain) by selling its old equipment. Therefore, the net cash used in investing is $2,000. The issuance of a note payable is part of the acquisition price of equipment and is classified as a noncash financing and investing activity.
