- Net income falls by $100M, and operating cash flow also drops $100M since the expense is treated as a real outlay.
- Net income is unaffected, but cash flow still rises $40M purely from the resulting corporate tax shield benefit.
- Net income falls by $60M, but the depreciation add-back of $100M leads to a net cash increase of $40M.
