Problem 5. Are non-profit and governments required to depreciate assets?  Why or why not?  Would it make sense for them to use double declining balance?  Is there a difference between a non-profit cash flows statement and a for profit company's cash flows statement?

Problem 6. What type of activity could a company engage in to improve their cash flows in their Cash Flows Statement?  Is this ethical?  Could borrowing money make the cash from operations better or worse?  Will the tax depreciation affect the cash flows statement?

Problem 7. If a company trades in a building towards a new building and does not recognize a gain or loss (because of code section 1031), will this transaction affect the cash flows statement?  Would your answer be different if the company borrowed $10 million to buy the new building and paid off $3 million due on the building trade in?
