Barbara Holden · Answer 1

c. recognizes that depreciation creates a cash inflow

Explanation:

The formula to compute the operating cash flow is shown below:

Operating cash flow = Earning before interest and taxes + Depreciation - Income tax expense

Since as we can see that after computing the earning before interest and taxes we added back the depreciation expense and deduct the income tax expense so that the proper value could arrive

Hence, option c is correct
