why should we add indirect taxes and depreciation?
Yes, NO-PAT (Net Operating Profit After Taxes) includes depreciation as it is calculated from operating income, which is derived before interest and taxes. Depreciation is considered an operating expense and is subtracted from revenues to determine operating profit. Therefore, while NO-PAT reflects the impact of depreciation on operating income, it does not directly add it back as in other metrics like EBITDA.
Depreciation expense has no affect on cash flows whatsoever. It is simply a method of systematically expensing a long-term tangible asset over its useful life. However, if you are trying to calculate your cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, depreciation expense is one of the figures you would add to your net income in order to arrive at that number.
When you start from net income to calculate the operativ cashflow you have to (1) add (substract) all operativ expenses (income) that appear in the income statement but did not result in cash in- or outflow, and (2) add (substract) all operativ cash inflow (outflow) that were not income (expense) and thus not recorded in the income statement. The net income plus all these adjustments equals the operativ cashflow. Depreciation were recorded in the income statement as an expense but it did not result in an cash outflow. You have to add it therefore to the net income. The method described above is the indirect method to calculate the operativ cash flow.
Adding overheads to food cost involves calculating indirect expenses associated with food preparation and service, such as utilities, rent, labor, and equipment depreciation. This total should then be divided by the total food cost to determine the percentage of overhead that impacts overall pricing. This helps restaurants and food businesses set prices that ensure profitability while covering operational expenses. Properly accounting for overheads is essential for accurate budgeting and financial planning in the food industry.

You have to know that Gross includes Depreciation... And market price includes all the taxes... So...for calculation.. You have to add depreciation to domestic income, i.e; NDP at FC + depreciation....you will now get GDP at FC... Factor cost doesn't include Net Indirect TAX...so you have to add that...and you'll get the answer.... NDP at FC + depreciation + NIT = GDP at MP

Journal entry is required for depreciation in quickbooks as well as FAS for peachtree also can be used to automatically record depreciation entries
I assume what you are referring to is the fact that if your are using the indirect approach to complete a cash flow statement, you add back depreciation. This step makes it look like depreciation is generating cash flow for the company. The reason for adding depreciation is that when we are preparing our cash flow statement, we are reconciling net income to account for things that are not reflected or things that do not affect cash flows. If we simplify it, we can say that net income equals ( Sales - Expenses ). Depreciation is an expense that decreases our net income, but it is simply an accounting value to match expenses with revenues produced, and does not affect cash. So, since we deducted depreciation to get to net income we need to add it back when we do our cash flow statement to reconcile net income with our cash flow.
To calculate EBITDA for a company, you add up its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. This gives you a measure of its operating performance without considering certain financial factors.
The quick answer is: UNLEVERED FREE CASH FLOW. HERE IS THE BASIC FORMULA. start with EBIT... EBIT (EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES) less Taxes then add back Depreciation & Amortization add back or subtract Net Working Capital subtract Capital Expenditures = UNLEVERED FREE CASH FLOW
To find EBITDA, you can start with a company's net income and then add back interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses. This calculation gives you a measure of a company's operating performance before accounting for financing and tax decisions.
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.
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.
Accumulated depreciation is the contra account in balance sheet to reduce the price of assets from balance sheet and depreciation is the expense account which shows the current year's expense in income statement, so depreciation account is closed in accumulated depreciation account to show the overall reduction in the price of assets for more than one fiscal year.
Indirectly. Technically it doesn't, depreciation is a non-cash expense. Depreciation expense does, however show up as a line item on the cash flows statement as an adjustment to operating income to derive net cash from operations... you add it back to income.
