My question is, why is cost of goodssold not included in these non cash expenses? It is a non-cashexpense, is it not? A customer could purchase an item on credit,and we would debit cost of goods sold without any cash exchanginghands. So why do we leave this number alone when making adjustmentsto net income using the indirect method?
