C. results in higher bad debt expense for most companies.
D. may only be used by companies that do not extend credit to their customers.
A

29
Q
  1. Extraordinary repairs, replacements, and additions are added to the appropriate asset accounts rather than being recorded as expenses.

A

TRUE

Straight-line depreciation allocates the same amount of depreciation each period over the asset’s useful life. Units-of-production deprecation is based on the amount of asset production, but both methods will result in the same amount of depreciation expense per period if the same number of units is produced each period over the same useful life.
