There are two points that should be noted about the financial statements.

First, deferrals, like accruals, cause a difference in the amount of net income and the amount of cash flow from operations ($500 vs. $2,100).

Second, the Car account contains the full, original cost of the asset. The amount of accumulated depreciation is shown right after the Car account in the Accumulated Depreciation account. Accumulated depreciation is subtracted from the asset account to arrive at the carrying (or book) value of the car amounting to $3,300 ($4,000 - $700). When adding up all assets in the balance sheet to calculate total assets, only the carrying values (i.e., original cost less accumulated depreciation) are considered.
