Rebe is looking over two sets of calculations done by a new employee. Set A presents the original cost of a vehicle to be $60,000 and the depreciable cost to be $30,000. Set B presents the depreciable cost of a machine to be $100,000 and the original cost of the machine to be $80,000. Are these calculations correct? O No, Set A is incorrect as the depreciable cost cannot possibly be lower than the original cost of the asset. O Yes, both Set A and Set B are likely correct, but to know for sure the salvage value of the assets would also need to be known. O Yes, both Set A and Set B are likely correct, but to know for sure the estimated useful life would also need to be known. O No, Set B is incorrect as the depreciable cost cannot possibly be higher than the original cost of the asset.

I compute the math as directed. First I take the initial cost of the land and add it to the short-term note. Then, I add the legal fees, delinquent taxes, and demolition costs of the building. I then deduct the amount received from selling the salvage materials. I don't include the cost paid to the contractor. That cost is assigned to the new warehouse. The answers I keep coming up with says incorrect.
Delaney Company is considering replacing equipment which originally cost $523,000 and which has $366,100 accumulated depreciation to date. A new machine will cost $842,000. What is the sunk cost in this situation?
W bought a new printing machine. The cost of the machine was $80,000. The installation costs were $5,000 and the employees received training on how to use the machine, at a cost of $2,000. Before using the machine to print customers' orders, a test was undertaken and the paper and ink cost $1,000. What should be the cost of the machine in the company's statement of financial position?
Jones’s proposal for a building contract was $125,500. After finding that her bid was low, she checked her estimates and found that an item of $25,000 had been incorrectly recorded as $2,500 in making the summary of costs. What can she do about the situation? Explain.
A truck, costing $102,500 and uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either (a) disposed of for $14,000 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or (b) rebuilt for $86,000 and thus be brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less costly? Show your calculations.
Assume a (hypothetical) company, Troff erini S. A., incurred the following expendituresto purchase a towel and tissue roll machine: €10,900 purchase price including taxes,€200 for delivery of the machine, €300 for installation and testing of the machine,and €100 to train staff on maintaining the machine. In addition, the company paid aconstruction team €350 to reinforce the factory floor and ceiling joists to accommodatethe machine’s weight. Th e company also paid €1,500 to repair the factory roof (a repairexpected to extend the useful life of the factory by five years) and €1,000 to have theexterior of the factory and adjoining offices repainted for maintenance reasons. Th erepainting neither extends the life of factory and offices nor improves their usability.1. Which of these expenditures will be capitalized and which will be expensed?2. How will the treatment of these expenditures aff ect the company’s financialstatements?
DETL Corp. made an ordinary repair to a delivery truck with a remaining useful life of three years at a cost of $200. DETL's accountant debited the asset account, Equipment. Was this treatment an error, and if so, what will be the effect on DETL's financial statements?
W bought a new printing machine from abroad. The cost of the machine was $80,000. The installation costs were $5,000 and the employees received specific training on how to use this particular machine, at a cost of $2,000. Before using the machine to print customers' orders, a test was undertaken and the paper and ink cost $1,000. What should be the cost of the machine in the company's statement of financial position?
The accountant at industrial system Incorporated (ISI) decided to depriciate some new production equipment by using a declining balance method aproved by the goverment. ISI purchased three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. The freight charges paid at the time of delivery was $20,000 and a special handling fee of $15,000 was paid. ISI paid $50,000 to prepare the site for the cells. In adddition, 6 employees, each earning $20.00 per hour worked five weeks at 40 hours per week to set up a prepare the new system. other materials applicable to the new cells cost $1000. a) determine the cost basis of the new cell. b) the useful life of the equiment is 5 years and ISI will use double declining balance as it method of depreciation until it has to swicht to SL. Determine which year that ISI will swith to SL.
Foster has built a new factory incurring the following costs: Land GH₵1,200,000 Materials GH₵2,400,000 Labour GH₵3,000,000 Architect's fees GH₵25,000 Surveyor's fees GH₵15,000 Site overheads GH₵300,000 Apportioned administrative overheads GH₵150,000 Testing of fire alarms GH₵10,000 Business rates for first year GH₵12, 000. What will be the total amount capitalised in respect of the factory?
To test your formulas, assume the machine purchased had an estimated useful life of three years (20,000, 30,000, and 50,000 hours, respectively). Enter the new information in the Data Section of the worksheet. Does your depreciation total 320,000 under all three methods? There are three common errors made by students completing this worksheet. Lets clear up two of them. One, an asset that has a three-year life should have no depreciation claimed in Year 4. This can be corrected using an =IF statement in Year 4. For example, the correct formula in cell C32 is =IF(B32D9,0,(D7D8)/D9) or =IF(B32D9, 0, SLN(D7, D8, D9)). You may wish to edit what you have already entered rather than retype it. Two, as mentioned in requirement 2, the double-declining-balance calculation needs to be modified in the last year of the assets life. Assuming you have already modified the formula for Year 4 (per instructions in step 2), alter the formula for Year 3 also. If you corrected any formulas, test their correctness by trying different estimated useful lives (between 3 and 8) in cell E9. Then reset the Data Section to the original values, save the revised file as DEPREC2, and reprint the worksheet to show the correct formulas. The third common error doesnt need to be corrected in this problem. The general form of the double-declining-balance formula needs to be modified to check the net book value of the asset each year to make sure it does not go below salvage value. =DDB does this automatically, but if you are writing your own formulas, this gets very complicated and is beyond the scope of the problem.
