The president of your company is meeting with the manager of alocal bank at the end of the month to try to obtain this financing. The president has approached youwith two ideas to improve the company’s reported financial position. First, he claims that because abig part of the company’s value comes from its knowledgeable and dedicated employees, you shouldreport their “Intellectual Abilities” as an asset on the balance sheet.

Would following the CEO’s advice impact the company’s accounting equation? How would reclassifying this one transaction change the outcome of the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of retained earnings? Would making this reclassification change the perception that users of the financial statements would have of the company’s current year success and future year potential?
