What does depreciation expense mean?
It is assumed that long lived tangible assets reduce in value over time. This reduction in value is hard to quantify economically, but is an acceptable reduction in income when calculating income tax. This reduction in value due to use or age of a long lived asset is called depreciation. The reduction or offset against income is called depreciation expense. Usually this is not an expense that requires the immediate expenditure of cash, but is called a non-cash expense deducted from income before calculating income tax. Generally the depreciation expense amounts are calculated from formulas promulgated by tax regulators to either model actual economic depreciation, or to motivate certain economic behaviors by allowing favorable tax treatment for the favored activities.

Why depreciation expense is not included in the cash flow statement?
Depreciation Expense, though called an expense, is not an expense where the company actually pays money out.

Since depreciation expense doesn't involve actual cash flow, it would not affect the Cash account.

When periodic expense created by allocating the cost of fixed assets to the periods in which they are used representing the expense of using the assets is called?
The periodic expense created by allocating the cost of fixed assets to the periods in which they are used is called depreciation. Depreciation reflects the wear and tear, usage, and obsolescence of the asset over time, allowing businesses to match the asset's cost with the revenue it generates. This accounting practice helps in providing a more accurate financial picture of a company's performance.
Is the deprecation expense on the income statement a non cash expense?
Correct. When a long-term tangible asset is purchased (e.g., property, plants and equipment), the Matching Principle under GAAP requires expenses to be systematically matched with the periods in which the corresponding revenues are generated. All depreciation expense does is systematically expense the asset over the period of its useful life. The useful life of the asset has nothing to do with when cash was actually paid for the asset.
