Solution

The correct option is B Depreciation
  • External sources of finance are equity capital, preferred stock, debentures, term loans, venture capital, leasing, hire purchase, trade credit, bank overdraft, factoring ,Sale of fixed assets, investment etc.
"Depreciation is a source of funds" is a common but misleading statement.
  • It should be understood that depreciation does not provide cash only sales and external financing can do this.
  • Being a non-cash expense, depreciation is only a means of conserving the outflow of cash from the firm.
