Solution

The incorrect statement concerning equity is:

  1. Equity represents lenders’ claims on the net assets of the entity.

Equity does not represent lenders' claims on the net assets of the entity. Instead, it represents the owners' or shareholders' claims on the net assets of the entity. Lenders' claims are represented by liabilities, not equity. Therefore, option 4 is the incorrect statement.
