# Which of the following is true with respect to sources and uses of funds?

This reduces the profits of the firm. But charging depreciation does not involves any fund. Therefore, the amount of depreciation charged against the revenue of the firm should be  added back to the net profit to estimate the funds from operations, which is a source of fund. Decrease in net working capital is a source of fund.
