General notes for cash flow

Cash is increased when Current liability increase or Current asset Decrease.

Cash is Decreased when Current liability Decrease or Current asset Increase.

Depreciation or loss on sale of any asset is a non cash expense hence it will be added to net income to get operating cash

Profit on sale of asset or investment is a non cash profit and hence will be deducted from operating income.
