Vincent Fairfield, CEO of MetroAir, sat at his desk, examining the company's latest financial statements. “This just doesn't make sense to me,” Vincent thought. “We're reporting $1,662,015 in net income, yet our Cash balance decreased by over $350,000. With these results, I would think the Cash balance should go up by at least $1,000,000.”
