How does £10 increase in depreciation expense flow through the three financial statements


Solution:🧪


🧾 Income Statement:


A £10 increase in dep expense should decrease net income by £10.


But hang on ✋


If we take taxes into consideration then @20% tax rate ..


..an increase of £10 dep expense will reduce the tax bill by £2 so..


Net Income will reduce by £8.


🧾 Balance Sheet


On Assets: 📠


PP&E will reduce by a further £10

Cash will go up by £2 given lower cash taxes

So total assets = -£8


On Liabilities: 🎰


Net income will be lower by £8 reducing retained earnings under Equity by £8


🧾 Cash Flow Statement:


Lower Net Income of £8

Higher D&A expenses of £10 will be added back to CFO given D&A is non-nash expense.

On a net basis, CFO will be higher by £2.
