- 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.arrow_forwardCox Construction, a company in its 10th year of business, purchased a piece of equipment on April 1, year 9, for 20,000. Cox has used it for business purposes since the initial purchase date. The company depreciated the equipment using the MACRS half-year table for 5-year assets. For tax purposes, what is the amount of accumulated depreciation expense for the equipment as of December 31, year 10? a. 6,000 b. 10,400 c. 11,600 d. 12,800arrow_forwardAlbany Corporation purchased equipment at the beginning of Year 1 for 75,000. The asset does not have a residual value and is estimated to be in service for 8 years. Calculate the depreciation expense for Years 1 and 2 using the double-declining-balance method. Round to the nearest dollar.arrow_forward
- Turnip Company purchased an asset at a cost of 10,000 with a 10-year life during the current year. Turnip uses differing depreciation methods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The depreciation expense during the current year for financial reporting is 1,000 and for income tax purposes is 2,000. Turnip is subject to a 30% enacted future tax rate. Prepare a schedule to compute Turnips (a) ending future taxable amount, (b) ending deferred tax liability, and (c) change in deferred tax liability (deferred tax expense) for the current year.arrow_forwardUse the information in Problem A-1 to solve this problem. Assume that the van is five-year property for tax purposes. Required Prepare a schedule of depreciation under MACRS. Round figures to the nearest whole dollar. PROBLEM A-1 A delivery van was bought for 18,000. The estimated life of the van is four years. The trade-in value at the end of four years is estimated to be 2,000. Check Figure Year 3 depreciation, 3,456arrow_forwardOn January 1, 2014, Klinefelter Company purchased a building for 520,000. The building had an estimated life of 20 years and an estimated residual value of 20,000. The company has been depreciating the building using straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of 2020, the following independent situations occur: a. The company estimates that the building has a remaining life of 10 years (for a total of 16 years). b. The company changes to the sum-of-the-years-digits method. c. The company discovers that it had ignored the estimated residual value in the computation of the annual depreciation each year. Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all journal entries related to the building for 2020. Ignore income taxes.arrow_forward
- Depreciation Methods On January 1, 2019, Loeffler Company acquired a machine at a cost of $200,000. Loeffler estimates that it will use the machine for 4 years or 8,000 machine hours. It estimates that after 4 years the machine can be sold for $20,000. Loeffler uses the machine for 2,100 and 1,800 machine hours in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Required: Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining-balance, and (3) units-of-production methods of depreciation.arrow_forwardColquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $300,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $15,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year five.arrow_forwardTuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?arrow_forward
