would the use of an accelerated depreciation method instead of the straight-line method affect the
gain or loss on the sale of the fixed plant asset
On January 2, year 4, Union determined that the machine had a useful life of six years from the date of acquisition and will have a salvage value of $24,000. An accounting change was
made in year 4 to reflect the additional data. The accumulated depreciation for this machine should have a balance at December 31, year 4, of
cash in excess of its net book value is as follows:
Turtle’s policy for five year assets is to use the 200% double declining depreciation method for the first two years of the asset’s life, and then switch to the straight line depreciation method.
In its December 31, year 4 balance sheet, what amount should Turtle report as accumulated depreciation for equipment
The cost of the machine was $63,000, of which $20,000 was given as a down payment. The
remainder was borrowed at 12% annual interest. Additional costs included $2,500 for shipping,
$4,000 for installation, $3,000 for testing, and $1,290 of interest on the borrowed funds. How much
should be reported for this acquisition in the machine account on Lambert Company's statement of
financial position as of November 30
machine produced 1,000 units, of which 600 were sold. There was no work-in-process inventory at
the beginning or at the end of the year. Installation charges of $300 and delivery charges of $200
were also incurred. The machine is expected to have a useful life of five years with an estimated
salvage value of $1,500. Pearl uses the straight-line depreciation method. The original cost of the
machinery to be recorded in Pearl's books is
Purchase of collating and stapling attachment $84,000
Installation of attachment 36,000
Replacement parts for overhaul of press 26,000
Labor and overhead in connection with overhaul 14,000
The overhaul resulted in a significant increase in production.
Neither the attachment nor the overhaul increased the estimated useful life of the press.
What amount of the above costs should be capitalized
