Answer 1

Answer:

d. depreciation expense

Explanation:

The expenses which are paid by cash reduced the cash balance displayed in the balance sheet . Like interest to creditors, stockholders dividend, wages expenses, miscellaneous expenses, admin expenses, etc. These expenses can be paid either by cash or by bank account .

But the depreciation expense is a non - cash expense which reduces the fixed asset balance over the fixed asset useful life. Plus this is shown in the income statement on the debit side. Like this other examples would be goodwill impairment, amortization expenses, etc.
