3. Depreciation is a method for allocating the cost of a long-term asset over the time of its use: so why is Depreciation Expense listed as a Cash Inflow?
4. Earnings Quality is a widely-used ratio in many industries: what does it mean? When is it more/less important? Why would investors/creditors care?
