Gilbert Company made an ordinary repair to a delivery truck during 2016 at a cost of $500 and capitalized the repair cost. What is the effect on the 2016 financial statements as a result of the incorrect capitalization?

The answer is:

Asset will be overstated

Net income will be overstated

Explanation:

Because of the incorrect capitalization(the process of converting or adding to a firm's asset):

1. Assets are overstated. Assets that shouldn't are added to the entire assets are added. So it's increasing the company's asset whereas it's not.

2. Net income are overstated. Because depreciation too will have to be charged for the asset that wasn't there, therefore, net asset will be overstated.
