    Answer: Assets, net income, and equity overstated.

    Explanation: Depreciation can be defined as the decline in value of assets.

    A mistake to record depreciation which is the decline in value in asset will significantly affect the account records. If the asset in a financial record is overstated, the net income and equity are also overstated because the asset is used in calculation of net income and equity.
