A company has suffered operating losses for some time but is now operating profitably and expects to continue to do so. Current and projected income, however, will not be sufficient to eliminate the deficit in the near term.  It also appears that plant assets are overstated considering current prices and economic conditions. After receiving permission from government authorities and approval from the shareholders, the board of directors of Boeing Corporation decided to restate the company’s assets and paid-in capital balances in order to remove the deficit.  A balance sheet for the company just prior to this action is presented as follows:
