What this question trains
This question tests whether you understand how non-cash expenses affect financial statements under accrual accounting. Candidates need to trace depreciation through net income, taxes, operating cash flow, PP&E, cash, and retained earnings, while keeping the balance sheet in balance. Interviewers ask this because it checks both accounting mechanics and the ability to explain how a single operating assumption creates connected effects across all three statements.
