  2. Issue of preferred stock shares will be added in the cash flow section from financing activities as it creates an inflow of cash.
  3. Depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash expenses. Therefore, they will be reported in the cash flow from operation and added to the net income.
  4. An increase in the land will be deducted in the investing activity section because it will lead to an outflow of cash.
