Solution

The correct answer is: "added back to net income because the expense does not involve the payment of cash".

Here's why:

Depreciation is a non-cash expense, meaning it reduces a company's earnings but does not involve an actual cash outflow. Therefore, when preparing the statement of cash flows using the indirect method, depreciation expense is added back to net income. This is done to adjust net income for non-cash transactions, changes in operating assets and liabilities, and other items to arrive at net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities.
