Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Statement of Cash flows is prepared to show the cash transactions of a company and only cash. The effect of anything non cash is not shown.

Depreciation is a non-cash expense which means that it reduces the net income without actually reducing the cash to the company. It would therefore be added back to the cash balance of the company so as to reflect that it did not reduce cash. The addition will be in the operating activities of the Statement of Cashflows.
