| moma20 | what is the meaning of understate plant and equipments? |
| gsuwp | Understate the VALUE of fixed assets that are on the books at historical costs. |
| bobert | The value or plant and equip will not be inflated, and in some cases depreciated, which will understate the value. Revenue on the other hand will be overstated because inflation will lower the value of the money, but not the amount of it. This is an overstatement of revenue. |
| erinelize | Thank you, bobert! |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
