    True

    Explanation:

    As the assets increase by $50,000 in year 2 on the basis of $140,000

    The percentage increase = $50,000/$140,000 = 35.71%

    In the year 3, the basis will be $140,000 + $50,000 (increase in year 2) = $190,000

    Thus, in the year 3 the percentage increase in assets = $50,000/$190,000 = 26.32%

    This clearly shows that the percentage increase is more in Year 2 than year 3, because the increase value is same but the basis has increased for Year 3, which is in denominator.
