- It is the end of 2019 and you are an accountant for Stone Company. During 2019, sales of the companys products slumped and the companys earnings are expected to be much less than those of 2018. The president comes to you with an idea. He says, Our companys property, plant, and equipment cost 300,000, and that is the amount we usually report on our balance sheet. However, I just had these assets appraised by an independent appraiser, and she says they are worth 400,000. I think that the company should report the property, plant, and equipment at this amount on its December 31, 2019, balance sheet and should report the 100,000 increase in value as a gain on the 2019 income statement.
