Apple Company bought a machine at the
beginning of 2021 for $80,000 and inadvertently expensed the cost
instead of capitalizing it. The machine has a 5-year life and no
expected residual value. The straight-line method of depreciation
would have been appropriate.
Assuming the error is not detected,
will Apple’s net income for 2021 be overstated, understated, or
correctly stated? By how much? Will net income for 2022 be
overstated, understated, or correctly stated? By how much?
