Hmm, I'm not sure about D. Wouldn't the cost of repainting be capitalized rather than expensed? Better double-check the accounting standards on that one.

Ha, I bet the exam writer was trying to trick us with that office painting one. Nice try, but I'm not falling for it!

B is wrong, insurance should be an expense. And E is just silly, the loss would go to the income statement, not a liability. Easy peasy!

Definitely A, C, and F. Can't believe they're asking about office painting though - that's just maintenance, not PPE!

I agree with you, Charlena. Statement F is also true because depreciation does reduce the carrying value of PPE.
