- It is the end of 2019 and you are an accountant for Stone Company. During 2019, sales of the companys products slumped and the companys earnings are expected to be much less than those of 2018. The president comes to you with an idea. He says, Our companys property, plant, and equipment cost 300,000, and that is the amount we usually report on our balance sheet. However, I just had these assets appraised by an independent appraiser, and she says they are worth 400,000. I think that the company should report the property, plant, and equipment at this amount on its December 31, 2019, balance sheet and should report the 100,000 increase in value as a gain on the 2019 income statement. If we use this approach, it will show how much our company is really worth and increase our earnings. This will make our shareholders happy. What do you think? Required: Prepare a written response to the president.arrow_forwardA company purchased a machine at the cost of $759,600 on March 1 of year 1.

The annual insurance policy for the new machine is $8,600. The company’s fiscal year end is November 30. The company’s accounting policy is to depreciate all machines using the double diminishing balance method.

Customers are required to pay six months of rent in advance. At the end of 2021, the company’s president, Jim Temperton, notices that net income has fallen compared to last year. In 2020, the company reported pretax profit of $330,000, but in 2021 the pretax profit is only $280,000. This concerns Jim for two reasons. First, his year-end bonus is tied directly to pretax profits. Second, shareholders may see a decline in profitability as a weakness in the company and begin to sell their stock. With the sell-off of stock, Jim’s personal investment in the company’s stock, as well as his companyoperated retirement plan, will be in jeopardy of severe losses. After close inspection of the financial statements, Jim notices that the balance of the Deferred Revenue account is $120,000. This amount represents payments in advance from long-term…arrow_forward

- Diamond Computers, which is owned and operated by Dale Diamond, manufactures and sells different types of computers.

These upgrades should significantly boost future productivity and profitability.
