Explanation / Answer

Depreciation is a non-cash item. It does not affect actual cash flow even when it is considered as expenditure. Depreciation is just an amortization of expenditure, during useful life of asset, already incurred in year of purchase.

In the given case, Depreciation expense has been deducted from other expenses which is wrong. It will neither reduce cash flow nor increase it. Hence total cash outflow will be :

(Note: While giving this answer, it is assumed that depreciation is not included in total manufacturing overheads. If in actual it is included in total manufacturing overheads, then deducting the depreciation amount is given correct effect.)
