Some people state that depreciation is a source of funds or a source of cash. I disagree. Depreciation expense is reported as a positive amount on the statement of cash flows prepared under the popular indirect method. However, the reason it is listed is to adjust the net income amount that had been reduced by depreciation expense on the income statement. (Recall that the depreciation entry debits Depreciation Expense and credits Accumulated Depreciation-the cash account is not involved.) In other words, the positive depreciation amount reported on the statement of cash flows is merely one of the adjustments needed to convert the accrual net income to the cash provided from operating activities. Depreciation is not a source of cash. Let's illustrate this with some amounts. A sidewalk florist operates a cash only business. During the most recent year, this florist had cash revenues of $100,000. Its expenses included $70,000 of cash expenses and $8,000 of depreciation expense on its truck that was purchased in an earlier year. During the year there were no other revenues or expenses, and the florist's cash balance increased by $30,000. The florist's income statement will report net income of $22,000 (revenues of $100,000 minus expenses of $78,000). The florist's statement of cash flows prepared under the indirect method will begin with net income of $22,000. It will then add the $8,000 of depreciation expense. The result is cash provided by operating activities of $30,000-which agrees to the business's change in its cash balance. The $8,000 of depreciation expense was not a source of cash, even though it appears as a positive amount on the statement of cash flows.

By matching revenues and expenses in the same period in which they incur, net income or loss will be properly reported on the income statement.
Income Statement
skuks as
The total depreciation for an accounting period is recorded as a depreciation expense on the income statement. This reduces net income, which is also known as the bottom line. Net income equals revenues minus expenses. Higher depreciation expense contributes to higher total expenses, which results in lower net income. Companies with mostly older assets that have been fully depreciated and companies with few long-lived assets benefit from low depreciation expense and higher net income.
