Wake Coffee Co. has a piece of equipment no longer needed for production. The company purchased the equipment for $75,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $10,000 related to the equipment. Wake Coffee Co. has determined it can either lease the equipment for the next ten years, for yearly revenues of $9,000, or sell the equipment for $70,000. If leased, the company expects to incur repairs and other expenses of $22,000 over the life of the lease. The equipment would also have a $3,500 salvage value. If sold, the broker requires a 4% broker commission. Prepare a differential analysis to determine if the company should sell (Alternative 1) or lease (Alternative 2) the equipment.

Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years.

Bliss Company owns an asset with an estimated life of 15 years and an estimated residual value of zero. Bliss uses the straight -line method of depreciation. At the beginning of the sixth year, the assets book value is 200,000 and Bliss changes the estimate of the assets life to 25 years, so that 20 years now remain in the assets life. Explain how this change will be accounted for in Blisss financial statements, and compute the current and future annual depreciation expense.

Petes Petroleum, Inc., an SEC registrant with a calendar year-end, is in the business of constructing and operating offs] lore oil platforms. Petes Petroleum is required legally to dismantle and remove the platforms at the end of their useful lives, which is estimated to be 10 years. On January 1, 2019, Pete constructed and began operating an offshore oil platform off the coast of Brazil. The total capitalized cost to construct the platform was 3,700,000. In addition, while the future cost of dismantling the oil platform is difficult to estimate, Pete believes there is a 40% chance that the future cost will be 1,425,000, a 40% chance it will be 1,650,000, and a 20% chance that it will cost 2,125,000. The appropriate discount rate is 12%, and Pete uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that Pete should record in 2019 related to the oil platform. 2. Prepare an amortization schedule for the asset retirement obligation. 3. Next Level Prepare a table showing the effect of accounting for the asset retirement obligation on assets, liabilities, shareholders equity, and net income relative to accounting for the associated costs at the end of the assets service life when the expenditure is made.
