CA10-6. (Cost of Land vs. Building—Ethics)
Tones Company purchased a warehouse in a downtown district where land values are rapidly increasing. Gerald Carter, controller, and Wilma Ankara, financial vice president, are trying to allocate the cost of the purchase between the land and the building. Noting that depreciation can be taken only on the building, Carter favors placing a very high proportion of the cost on the warehouse itself, thus reducing taxable income and income taxes. Ankara, his supervisor, argues that the allocation should recognize the increasing value of the land, regardless of the depreciation potential of the warehouse. Besides, she says, net income is negatively impacted by additional depreciation and will cause the company's stock price to go down.
Answer the following questions.
(a) What stakeholder interests are in conflict?
(b) What ethical issues does Carter face?

- Question 1 The TLC Yogurt Company has decided to capitalize on the exercise fad and plans to open an exercise facility in conjunction with its main yogurt and health foods store. To get the project under way, the company will rent additional space adjacent to its current store. The equipment required for the facility will cost $50,000. Shipping and installation charges for the equipment are expected to total $5,000. This equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its five-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $0. In order to open the exercise facility, TLC estimates that it will have to add about $7,000 initially to its net working capital in the form of additional inventories of exercise supplies, cash, and accounts receivable for its exercise customers. In addition, TLC expects that it will have to add about $5,000 per year to its net working capital in years 1, 2, and 3 and nothing in years 4 and 5.

Now the owner wishes to replace the old planner by a newly – designed planner with several advantages. The old planner can sell for P 10,000.

The new machine was delivered by the supplier, installed by Deskin, and placed into operation. It was purchased under a long-term payment plan for which the interest charges approximated the prevailing market rates. The estimated useful life of the new machine is 10 years, and its estimated residual (salvage) value is significant. Normal maintenance was performed to keep the new machine in usable condition. Deskin also added a wing to the manufacturing building that it owns. The addition is an integral part of the building. Furthermore, Deskin made significant leasehold improvements to office space used as corporate headquarters. Required: 1. What costs should Deskin capitalize for the new machine? 2. Explain how Deskin should account for the normal maintenance performed on the new machine. 3. Explain how Deskin should account for the wing added to the manufacturing building. Where should the added wing be reported on Deskins financial statements? 4. Explain how Deskin should account for the leasehold improvements made to its office space. Where should the leasehold improvements be reported on Deskins financial statements?arrow_forwardDifferential analysis for machine replacement Boyer Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is 60,000, the accumulated depreciation is 24,000, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of 180,000. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value. For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations: a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 4 to determine whether to continue with ( Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine. Prepare the analysis over the useful life of the new machine. b. Based only on the data presented, should the proposal be accepted? c.

- Replacement project example: Suppose Mayco wants to replace an existing printer with a new high-speed copier. The existing printer was purchased 13 years ago at a cost of $16,000. The printer is being depreciated using straight line basis assuming a useful life of 18 years and no salvage value. If the existing printer is not replaced, it will have zero market value at the end of its useful life. The new high-speed copier can be purchased for $23,000 (including freight and installation). Over its 5-year life, it will reduce labor and raw materials usage sufficiently to cut annual operating costs from $18,000 to $9,000. This reduction in costs will cause before-tax profits to rise by an equal amount. It is estimated that the new copier can be sold for $2,400 at the end of five years; this is its estimated salvage value. The old printer's current market value is $4,576. If the new copier is acquired, the old printer will be sold to another company.

The machine has been used for one year and isexpected to be obsolete after an additional 3 years. The company uses straight-line (SLN) depreciation for this machine.At the beginning of the second year, a machine salesperson offers a new, vastly more efficient machine. This machine will cost $2,000,000, reduce annual cash manufacturing costs from$1,800,000 to $1,000,000, and have zero disposal value at the end of 3 years. Management hasdecided to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) depreciation method for tax purposes for thismachine if purchased. (Note: Make sure to switch to SLN depreciation in year 3 to ensure that theentire cost of the asset is written off. You may find it useful to use the VDB function in Excel tocalculate depreciation charges.)The old machine’s salvage value is…arrow_forwardOpportunity cost. Revolution Records will build a new recording studio on a vacant lot next to the operations center. The land was purchased five years ago for $480,000. Today, the value of the land has appreciated to $750,000. Revolution Records did not consider the value of the land in its NPV calculations for the studio project (it had already spent the money to acquire the land long before this project was considered). The NPV of the recording studio is $590,000. Should Revolution Records have considered the land as part of the cash flow of the recording studio? If yes, what value should be used, $480,000 or $750,000? How will the value affect the project? Should Revolution Records have considered the land as part of the cash flow of the recording studio?
