PArticulars Amout($)
Net income $41000
Add:loss on sales of land $5500
Add:Deprecaition expense $3000
Less:Decrease in current liabilities ($18000)
Less:Increase in current assets other than cash ($6000)
Net cash flow from operating activities $25500.

Decrease in current liabilities is an outflow of cash while decrease in current assets is an inflow and hence added to the cash flow from operations and vice-versa.All non-cash expenses are added back to the net income to compute cash flow from operations as well and non cash incomes subtracted.
