Need a table created that includes the following items for Kroger for each of the last 3 years (from the Statement of Cash Flows):

Operating cash flow items related to long-lived assets:

Depreciation and amortization

Asset impairment charges

Gain on the sale of assets

Investing cash flow items related to long-lived assets:

Payments for property and equipment, including payments for lease buyouts

Proceeds from the sale of assets

Be sure to report the amounts on your table as either a positive or negative number coinciding with positive or negative cash flow

Compare the cash inflow and cash outflow relating to long-lived assets within each of the last 3 years based on the table you created.

Is Kroger's cash outflow greater or less than its non-cash charges?

Are Kroger's investments steady (year-over-year) or inconsistent?
