CA5.5 (LO2) (Presentation of Property, Plant, and Equipment) Carol Keene, corporate
comptroller for Dumaine Industries, is trying to decide how to present “Property, plant, and
equipment” in the statement of financial position. She realizes that the statement of cash
flows will show that the company made a significant investment in purchasing new
equipment this year, but overall she knows the company's plant assets are rather old. She
feels that she can disclose one figure titled “Property, plant, and equipment, net of
depreciation,” and the result will be a low figure. However, it will not disclose the age of the
assets. If she chooses to show the cost less accumulated depreciation, the age of the assets
will be apparent. She proposes the following.
Instructions
Answer the following questions.
a. What are the ethical issues involved?
b. What should Keene do?
