Sections start their location counters at zero. The .bss directives don't advance the counter, because they go off to a different section. Assembly instructions take up bytes of memory according to what they are and their addressing mode. Whenever a .sect happens the location counter is reset to zero. There is more in section 2 of this TI Manual on the Assembler. This quiz is more tailored to understanding the Assembly List file, that has a field for the location counter. Code Composer Studio doesn't generate this by default anymore. It is good to look at though. I wasn't able to correctly get the location counter values correct without the compiler's help. Fortunately you can still get it to make an assembly listing for you.
You get the Assembly List file by going into the Build Settings->Build->Advanced Options->Assembler, and tick the Generate listing file box. Here is the listing file I got using the MSP430G2553 processor.

You can see that my guess wasn't right. The second column of numbers is the location counter. :-)
