An example I was looking at says: Let’s say you have a non-cash expense of $10 and a tax rate of 40%. Your Net Income decreases by $6 as a result... but then you add back the entire non-cash expense of $10 on the CFS so that your cash goes up by $4.
Why does Net Income decrease by $6? Which IS item changes would cause this? Thanks in advance!
