Technically, every lease a lessor has increases cash flow to some degree, as the lease requires a rent-payment of sorts. However, for the lessor, this is simply a standard income source, rather than any particularly special cash flow.
An operating lease is a rental agreement where the lessee uses an asset without acquiring ownership rights, typically for a shorter duration than the asset's useful life. Payments are considered operating expenses and do not appear on the balance sheet, allowing for better cash flow management. At the end of the lease term, the asset is returned to the lessor, who retains the residual value risk. This type of lease is often used for equipment, vehicles, and office space.

Direct Lease A leasing package wherein the lessor buys a specified equipment from the supplier and leases the same to the lessee. Sale and Leaseback A leasing package wherein the lessee sells presently-owned equipment to the lessor to convert fixed asset into cash with the lessor allowing the lessee to retain the full use of the property for a fee over a specified period of time.
Capital lease is that lease in which assets are acquired for substantial useful life of asset for use in business. Sale type lease is that in which discounted cash flow for miminum lease payment is higher than value of leased asset and only relevant to lessor.
An increase(+) in accruals increases(+) the cash provided by operating activities under the cash flow statement.
Leasing journal entries are the entries made in the accounting journals of both lessor and lessee to account for the expense or income of a lease. An example would be leasing of business equipment. The lessor would enter a credit in rent revenue and a debit in cash, while the lessee would enter a credit in cash and a debit in rent expense.
Capital lease payments will affect cash flow from both operating activities and financing activities. A capital lease payment is treated as debt service. The portion of the payment applied to principal is a cash outflow from financing activities, and the portion applied to interest is a cash outflow from operating activities.
Gross profit = sales revenue - cost of goods sold Operating Cash Flow = net income (after all expenses) + increase in operating liabilities (payables, etc) - increase in operating assets (receivables, inventory, etc)
This will depend on your accounting method that you use. If you are a cash basis business, then it is recognized when lease payments are received. If accrual, you could justify amortizing the payment but I cannot imagine why you would want to. I am assuming you are lessor in your question and not the lessee. If you are the one leasing the property, you cannot take a deduction for a lease payment you did not make.
decrease in inventory will be shown as increase in cash in cash flow from operating activities as this is increasing the cash.
To calculate the cash flow from assets, you start with the operating income, add back depreciation, subtract cash taxes, and then account for changes in net operating working capital. The formula is: Cash Flow from Assets = Operating Income + Depreciation - Cash Taxes - Increase in Net Operating Working Capital. Plugging in the numbers: Cash Flow from Assets = 3.9 billion + 0.3 billion - 0.7 billion - 0.6 billion = 2.9 billion. Therefore, the firm's cash flow from assets is 2.9 billion.
