A company has a 'Provision for Inventory Obsolescence' (a non-cash expense) of $18,000.

How is this treated when calculating CFO using the indirect method?

  1. It is an add-back to net income.
  2. It is a subtraction from net income.
  3. It is ignored because inventory changes are already captured in the working capital section.
  4. It is reported as an investing cash outflow.
