STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

AAYO11y ago
Pls,Sir. Why do we; 1.subtract profit on sale of non-current assets(income) or investment instead of adding 2.add depreciation (expense) instead of subtracting it

I really do suggest you watch the free lectures! Profit on sale will have been included in the profit, but is not a cash flow so it needs removing. Depreciation will have been charged against the profit, but it is not a cash payment and so it needs adding back. The whole point is to convert the profit into a 'cash profit'.
