    In the year to 30 November 2009, Lui accounted for $7,000 of expenditure on machinery repairs as the cost of a new machine. Lui depreciates machinery on a straight-line basis over 10 years and charges depreciation for a full year in the year an asset is acquired.
    What is the effect of the error on Lui’s profit for the year to 30 November 2009?
    A understated by $6,300
    B understated by $7,700
    C overstated by $6,300
    D overstated by $7,700

    Answer is C : 6,300

    Why do I need to minus the $700?

    It’s the depreciation expense on the wrongly capitalised repairs.$7000/10 =$700. This therefore results in net overstatement of $6300. Hope this helps.
