He heard that you were in a financial accounting class and asked:“Why is it that I’m forced to record depreciation expense on my property when I could sell it for more than I originally paid? I thought that the purpose of the balance sheet is to reflect the value of my business and that the purpose of the income statement is to report the net change in value or wealth of a company. It just doesn’t make sense to penalize my profits when the building hasn’t lost any value.”At the conclusion of the luncheon, you promised to send him a short explanation of the rationale for current depreciation practices.Required:Prepare a memo to Mr. Fogle. Explain the accounting concept of depreciation and contrast this with the dictionary definition of depreciation.

The 2021 comparative balance sheet and 2021 income statement of Gumdrop Fall Ltd, have just been prepared and presented to the owners by the company’s Accountant. After doing an examination of the financial information received, it was eventually discovered that there are some figures in the balance sheet that were erroneously omitted due to an oversight by the accountant who is not available to fix the problem due to his unavoidable absence from work. Also, they are concerned about the movement in the company’s cash and cash equivalent given that the balance sheet does not show or explain the reason or reasons why there was an increase or decrease in this area.
