Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. With DEPREC5 still on the screen, click the Chart sheet tab. This chart shows the accumulated depreciation under all three depreciation methods. Identify below the depreciation method that each represents. Series 1 _____________________ Series 2 _____________________ Series 3 _____________________ When the assignment is complete, close the file without saving it again. Worksheet. The problem thus far has assumed that assets are depreciated a full year in the year acquired. Normally, depreciation begins in the month acquired. For example, an asset acquired at the beginning of April is depreciated for only nine months in the year of acquisition. Modify the DEPREC2 worksheet to include the month of acquisition as an additional item of input. To demonstrate proper handling of this factor on the depreciation schedule, modify the formulas for the first two years. Some of the formulas may not actually need to be revised. Do not modify the formulas for Years 3 through 8 and ignore the numbers shown in those years. Some will be incorrect as will be some of the totals. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as DEPRECT. Hint: Insert the month in row 6 of the Data Section specifying the month by a number (e.g., April is the fourth month of the year). Redo the formulas for Years 1 and 2. For the units of production method, assume no change in the estimated hours for both years. Chart. Using the DEPREC5 file, prepare a line chart or XY chart that plots annual depreciation expense under all three depreciation methods. No Chart Data Table is needed; use the range B29 to E36 on the worksheet as a basis for preparing the chart if you prepare an XY chart. Use C29 to E36 if you prepare a line chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as DEPREC5. Print the chart.
Newmarge Products Inc. is evaluating a new design for one of its manufacturing processes. The new design will eliminate the production of a toxic solid residue. The initial cost of the system is estimated at 860,000 and includes computerized equipment, software, and installation. There is no expected salvage value. The new system has a useful life of 8 years and is projected to produce cash operating savings of 225,000 per year over the old system (reducing labor costs and costs of processing and disposing of toxic waste). The cost of capital is 16%. Required: 1. Compute the NPV of the new system. 2. One year after implementation, the internal audit staff noted the following about the new system: (1) the cost of acquiring the system was 60,000 more than expected due to higher installation costs, and (2) the annual cost savings were 20,000 less than expected because more labor cost was needed than anticipated. Using the changes in expected costs and benefits, compute the NPV as if this information had been available one year ago. Did the company make the right decision? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Upon reporting the results mentioned in the postaudit, the marketing manager responded in a memo to the internal audit department indicating that cash inflows also had increased by a net of 60,000 per year because of increased purchases by environmentally sensitive customers. Describe the effect that this has on the analysis in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why is a postaudit beneficial to a firm?
Self-Construction Olson Machine Company manufactures small and large milling machines. Selling prices of these machines range from 35,000 to 200,000. During the 5-month period from August 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, Olson manufactured a milling machine for its own use. This machine was built as part of the regular production activities. The project required a large amount of time front planning and supervisory personnel, as well as that of some of the companys officers, because it was a more sophisticated type of machine than the regular production models. Throughout the 5-month period, Olson charged all costs directly associated with the construction of the machine to a special account entitled Asset Construction Account. An analysis of the charges to this account as of December 31, 2019, follows: Olson allocates factory overhead to normal production as a percent of direct labor dollars as follows: Olson uses a flat rate of 40% of direct labor dollars to allocate general and administrative overhead. During the machine testing period, a cutter head malfunctioned and did extensive damage to the machine table and one cutter housing. This damage was not anticipated and was the result of an error in the assembly operation. Although no additional raw materials were needed to make the machine operational after the accident, the following labor for rework was required: Olson has included all these labor charges in the asset construction account. In addition, it included in the account the repairs and maintenance charges of 1,340 that it incurred as a result of the malfunction. Required: 1. Compute, consistent with GAAP and common practice, the amount that Olson should capitalize for the milling machine as of December 31, 2019, when it declares the machine operational. 2. Next Level Identify the costs you included in Requirement 1 for which there are acceptable alternative procedures. Describe the alternative procedure(s) in each case.
Falk Corporation is considering two types of manufacturing systems to produce its shaft couplings over six years: (1) a cellular manufacturing system (CMS) and (2) a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). The average number of pieces to be produced on either system would be 544,000 per year. Operating costs, initial investment, and salvage value for each alternative are estimated as follows: The firm's MARR is 15%. Which alternative would be a better choice based on the IRR criterion?
Allen International, Inc., manufactures chemicals. It needs to acquire a new piece of production equipment to work on production for a large order that Allen has received. The order is for a period of three years, and atthe end of that time the machine would be sold. Allen has received two supplier quotations, both of which will provide the required service. Quotation I has a first cost of $180,000 and an estimated salvage value of$50,000 at the end of three years. Its cost for operation and maintenance is estimated at $28,000 per year. Quotation II has a first cost of $200,000 and an estimated salvage value of $60,000 at the end of three years. Its cost for operation and maintenance is estimated at $17,000 per year. The company pays income tax at a rate of 40% on ordinary income and 28% on depreciation recovery. The machine will be depreciated using MACRS-GDS (asset class 28.0). Allen uses an after-tax MARR of 12% for economic analysis, and it plans to accept whichever of these two…
The Johnson Chemical Company has justreceived a special subcontracting job from one of itsclients. The two-year project requires the purchaseof a special-purpose painting sprayer of $60,000.This equipment falls into the MACRS five-yearclass. After the subcontracting work is completed,the painting sprayer will be sold at the end of twoyears for $40,000 (actual dollars). The painting system will require an increase of $5,000 in net working capital (for spare-parts inventory, such as spraynozzles). This investment in working capital will befully recovered after the project is terminated. Theproject will bring in an additional annual revenueof $120,000 (today’s dollars), but it is expected toincur an additional annual operating cost of $60,000(today’s dollars). It is projected that, due to inflation, sales prices will increase at an annual rate of5%. (This implies that annual revenues will increaseat an annual rate of 5%.) An annual increase of 4%for expenses and working-capital…
During the construction of a highway bypass, earth moving equipment costing P400,000 was purchased for use in transporting fill from the borrow pit. At the end of the 4-year project, the equipment will be sold for P200,000. The schedule for moving fill calls for a total of 100,000 cubic feet during the project. In the first year, 40% of the total fill is required; in the second year, 30%; in the third year 25%; and in the final year, the remaining 5%. Determine the declining balance depreciation schedule.
