Maribel Frank · Answer 1

The correct answer is Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement.

Explanation:

Depreciation expense is a non-cash item in the statement of cash flows. Depreciation is charged on assets as a result of wear and tear and to match the revenue, the asset is used to generate against the depreciation expense over the life span of the asset.

Depreciation expense is usually added back to net income in the statement of cash flows, being a non-cash item. So, when the amount of the depreciation is increased, automatically, the net cash flows from operating activities would increase because that is the part of the cash flows that is affected by depreciation.
