The accounting records of Nettle Distribution show the following assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.

Late in December 2013, the business purchased a small office building and land for $140,000. It paid $100,000 cash toward the purchase and a $40,000 note payable was signed for the balance. Mr. Nettle had to invest $35,000 cash in the business to enable it to pay the $100,000 cash. Mr. Nettle withdraws $3,000 cash per month for personal use.
