Operating cash Activities relate to transactions that have to do with the daily operations of the business such as accounts receivables, payables and stock.

Investing cash activities relate to transactions that have to do with the capital expenditure of the company such as fixed assets and securities in other companies.

Financing relates to those transactions relating to how the business finances its operations which includes equity and capital.

Anything that would require cash to be spent is reducing the balance and anytime cash comes in, the balance is increased.

Decrease in current asset is an increase because it means less cash was spent to acquire the asset.

Decrease in current liability is a decrease because it means that the company paid cash to reduce the liability.

Amortization and Depreciation add to the Operating balance because they are none cash items that were removed from Net income.
