Crane Company uses special plastic wrapping equipment in its shipping business. The equipment was purchased in January 2016 for $3,920,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2017, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Crane's equipment. Crane's controller estimates that expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be $2,744,000 and that the fair value of the equipment is $2,352,000. Crane intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Crane uses straight-line depreciation.

Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?
At the end of 2020, Magenta Manufacturing Company discovered that construction cost had been capitalized as a cost of the factory building in 2015 when it should have been treated as a cost of production equipment installation costs. As a result of the misclassification, the depreciation through 2018 was understated by 110,000, and depreciation for 2019 was understated by 90,000. What would be the consequences of correcting for the misclassification of the property cost? a. The taxpayer uses the FIFO inventory method, and 25% of goods produced during the period were included in the ending inventory. b. The taxpayer uses the LIFO inventory method, and no new LIFO layer was added during 2019.
In January 2012, Winn Corp. purchased equipment at a cost of $500,000. The equipment had an estimated salvage value of $100,000, an estimated 8-year useful life, and was being depreciated by the straight-line method. Two years later, it became apparent to Winn that this equipment suffered a permanent impairment of value. In January 2014, management of Winn Corp. determines the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted) from the use of the equipment and its eventual disposal to be $250,000 and a fair value of $225,000. What is the impairment loss for the equipment?
On January 1, 2015, Vallahara Company purchased machinery for $650,000, which it installed in a rented factory. It is depreciating the machinery over 12 years by the straight-line method to a residual value of $50,000. Late in 2019, because of increasing competition in the industry, the company believes that its asset may be impaired and will have a remaining useful life of 5 years, over which it estimates the asset will produce total cash inflows of $1,000,000 and will incur total cash outflows of $825,000. The cash flows are independent of the company’s other activities and will occur evenly each year. Vallahara is not able to determine the fair value based on a current selling price of the machinery. Vallahara’s discount rate is 10%. Required: 1. Prepare schedules to determine whether, at the end of 2019, the machinery is impaired and, if so, the impairment loss to be recognized. 2. If the machinery is impaired, prepare the journal entry to record the impairment. 3. If…
