    Depreciation is a non cash expense which was deducted from the income while calculating the net income value, it needs to be added back.

    Increase in the receivable means the customers are paying less than the credit sales are being made. It uses the cash so, it will be adjusted as a deduction in net cash flow calculation.

    Decrease in the payable means the suppliers are being paid more than the credit purchases are being made. It also uses the cash so, it will be adjusted as a deduction in net cash flow calculation.
