Answer:

c. LeMond's net fixed assets as shown on the balance sheet will be higher at the end of the year.

Explanation:

Provided information,

There is a purchase of new production line. On which the company plans to charge depreciation as per straight line method for 5 years. As per the recent amendment the company has to charge depreciation fr 7 years under straight line method.

Thus, depreciation per year will be decreased.

As depreciation is an expense which is going to decrease with increase in duration, therefore, income will increase and accordingly taxes will increase.

Also the net balance of fixed assets will be higher, as depreciation is less.

Therefore, correct statement is

c. LeMond's net fixed assets as shown on the balance sheet will be higher at the end of the year.
