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?
The following would be non-deductible capital expenditure:
(a.) The investment banker fees incurred in a hostile take-over
(b.) The cost of fixing a leaky copper pipe in an office building.
(c.) The cost of removing asbestos and re-insulating an entire office building
(d.) The cost of paper supplies used in a law office.

- The property, plant and equipment account of Cuddle PH was revisited by its property officers.

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…arrow_forwardou are working with an accounting firm.

- As you have seen in Chapter 17, companies depreciate, or write off, the expense of tangible assets such as trucks and equipment over a period of their useful lives. Many companies also have intangible assets that must be accounted for as an expense over a period of time. Intangible assets are resources that benefit the company but do not have any physical substance. Some examples are copyrights, franchises, patents, trademarks, and leases. In accounting, intangible assets are written off in a procedure known as asset amortization. This is much like straight-line depreciation, but there is no salvage value. Suppose you are the accountant for a certain pharmaceutical company. In January 2000, the company purchased the patent rights for a new medication from Novae, Inc., for $18,000,000. The patent had 15 years remaining as its useful life. In January 2005, your pharmaceutical company successfully defended its right to the patent in a lawsuit that cost $630,000 in legal fees.
