Air New Zealand (ANZ) is a Star Alliance member airline. Assume that early in 2017, ANZ purchased equipment at a cost of $200,000 (NZ). Management expects the equipment to remain in service for four years and the estimated residual value to be negligible. ANZ uses the straight-line depreciation method. Through an accounting error, ANZ expensed the entire cost of the equipment at the time of purchase.

Requirement

1. Total current assets

2. Equipment, net

3. Net income

4. Shareholders' equity
