Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

The correct answer is:

C. Depreciation Expense

👉 Explanation:

  • Depreciation is a non-cash expense.

    • It represents the allocation of the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life.

    • No actual cash leaves the business when depreciation is recorded.

  • Lease Expense and Advertising Expense involve actual cash payments, so they reduce cash.

💡 Key point:
Non-cash expenses like Depreciation, Amortization, and Provisions affect profit but not the cash position.
