The assistant financial controller of the Negril Group(NG), a public listed company, has identified the matters below which she believes may indicate an impairment to one or more assets: NG owns and operates an item of plant that cost $2,600,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $1,700,000 at 1 October 2014. It is being depreciated at 12% on cost. On 1 April 2015 (exactly half way through the year) the plant was damaged when a factory vehicle collided into it. Due to the unavailability of replacement parts, it is not possible to repair the plant, but it still operates, albeit at a reduced capacity. Also it is expected that as a result of the damage the remaining life of the plant from the date of the damage will be only two years. Based on its reduced capacity, the estimated present value of the plant in use is $700,000. The plant has a current disposal value of $120,000 (which will be nil in two years' time), but NG has been offered a trade–in value of $900,000 against a replacement…

- Charlie Brown, controller for Kelly Corporation, is preparing the company's income statement at year-end. He notes that the company lost a considerable sum on the sale of some equipment it had decided to replace. Since the company has sold equipment routinely in the past, Brown knows the losses cannot be reported as an unusual item. He also does not want to highlight it as a material loss since he feels that will reflect poorly on him and the company. He reasons that if the company had recorded more depreciation during the assets' lives, the losses would not be so great. Since depreciation is included among the company's operating expenses, he wants to report the losses along with the company's expenses, where he hopes it will not be noticed. Answer the following questions: (a) What are the ethical issues involved? (b) What should Brown do?arrow_forwardCharlie Brown, controller for Kelly Corporation, is preparing the company’s income statement at year-end.
