A major addition to equipment should have been capitalized in the year 2021 but was incorrectly expensed. What would the impact on asset value and income be?

Expert Solution
Step 1

*** IF THE ADDITIONS MADE TO ASSET WHICH  BRINGS THE PROBABLE  ENHANCED FUTURE CASH INFLOWS FROM THE ASSET THEN SUCH COST OF ADDITION CAN BE CAPITALIZED TO ASSET.

 

*** AS THE ADDITION IS NOT CAPITALIZED SO  THE ASSET VALUE WILL BE SHOWN LESS, AND BALANCE OF TOTAL ASSETS IN THE BALANCE SHEET WILL BE MISSTATED.
