- S (Presentation of Property, Plant, and Equipment) Carol Keene, corporate comptroller for Dumaine Industries, is trying to decide how to present “Property, plant, and equipment” in the balance sheet. She realizes that thestatement of cash flows will show that the company made a significant investment in purchasing new equipment this year, but overall she knows the company’s plant assets are rather old. She feels that she can disclose one figure titled “Property, plant, and equipment, net of depreciation,” and the result will be a low figure. However, it will not disclose the age of the assets. If she chooses to show the cost less accumulated depreciation, the age of the assets will be apparent. She proposes the following.

What amount should be reported for land on Eve's balance sheet on December 31, 2012?arrow_forwardAs explained in this chapter, accounting theory allows firms to choose a depreciation method from several equally acceptable alternatives to allocate the cost of a long-term asset to expense over the useful life of the asset. In practice, however, most organizations use the straight-line method of depreciation for financial statement presentation and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax reporting purposes because the Internal Revenue Code allows firms to use an accelerated depreciation method on their tax returns, instead of the straight-line method they report under GAAP. Discuss why a company would choose to use straight-line deprecation for financial reporting purposes and an accelerated method for tax purposes. Speculate on why the tax code might allow firms to accelerate depreciation for investments in productive resources.arrow_forward
