	consideration when answering questions 2-5.
	2. "How can Depreciation be a cash flow"?
	3. "How can a gain on the sale of non-current assets be a deduction from Net
	Income in determining the Cash Flow from Operating Activities?
	4. "How can a Loss on the Sale of non current assets be be an
	addition to Net Income in determining Cash Flow from Operating Activities?
	5. "Why does the bank need a Statement of Cash Flows anyway? They can
	compute the increase or decrease in cash flow from the Balance Sheet for the
	last two years"?
	6. Prepare the following financial statement analysis for the 2017 and 2016.

current assets. In 2011 Summer is performing much better since they have more current
assets available to meet their short-term obligations.
