Re: Cash Flow

You lost me right from the start. Since when is Depreciation a "cash" item?
 
Re: Cash Flow

The book says..."Depreciation is a non-cash expense that was deducted when calculating net income. It must be added back to show the correct cash flow from operations." Unfortunately, it doesn't get me much farther either ;)
