What is Creative Solutions’ ethical responsibility to the company’s stockholders? According to GAAP, how should the amortization of patents be treated?

In groups of two or three, determine an appropriate method of depreciation, depletion, or amortization of the following assets for financial reporting purposes: (a) a car used as a taxi, (b) a parcel of land that will…

Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $450,000. Of this sum, $55,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the company will need to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $55,000 straight-line over five years. How will the tax authority’s decision affect the after-tax cost of the kiln? The tax rate is 25%, and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
