During 2019, White Company determined that machinery previously depreciated over a 7-year life had a total estimated useful life of only 5 years. An accounting change was made in 2019 to reflect the change in estimate. If the change had been made in 2018, accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2018, would have been $1,600,000 instead of $1,200,000. As a result of this change, the 2019 depreciation expense was $100,000 greater than it would have been if no change were made. Ignoring income tax considerations, what is the proper amount of the adjustment to Wllite’s January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings? a. $0 b. $100,000 c. $280,000…
Tedesco Company changed depreciation methods in 2017 from double-declining-balance to straight-line. Depreciation prior to 2017 under double-declining-balance was $90,000, whereas straight-line depreciation prior to 2017 would have been $50,000. Tedesco’s depreciable assets had a cost of $250,000 with a $40,000 salvage value, and an 8-year remaining useful life at the beginning of 2017. Prepare the 2017 journal entries, if any, related to Tedesco’s depreciable assets.

In January 2019, repair costs of 9,000 were debited to the Machinery account. At the beginning of 2019, the book value of the machinery was 100,000. No residual value is expected, the remaining estimated life is 10 years, and straight-line depreciation is used. b. All purchases of materials for construction contracts still in progress have been immediately expensed. It is discovered that the use of these materials was 10,000 during 2018 and 12,000 during 2019. c. Depreciation on manufacturing equipment has been excluded from manufacturing costs and treated as a period expense. During 2019, 40,000 of depreciation was accounted for in that manner. Production was 15,000 units during 2019, of which 3,000 remained in inventory at the end of the year. Assume there was no inventory at the beginning of 2019. Required: Prepare journal entries for the preceding errors discovered during 2020. Ignore income taxes.arrow_forward
- Soon after December 31, 2019, the auditor requested a depreciation schedule for trucks of Jarrett Trucking Company, showing the additions, retirements, depreciation, and other data affecting the income of the company in the 4-year period 2016 to 2019, inclusive. The following data were in the Trucks account as of January 1, 2016: The Accumulated DepreciationTrucks account, previously adjusted to January 1,2016, and duly entered in the ledger, had a balance on that date of 16,460. This amount represented the straight-line depreciation on the four trucks from the respective dates of purchase, based on a 5-year life and no residual value. No debits had been made to this account prior to January 1, 2016. Transactions between January 1,2017, and December 31, 2019, and their record in the ledger were as follows: 1. July 1, 2016: Truck no. 1 was sold for 1,000 cash. The entry was a debit to Cash and a credit to Trucks, 1,000. 2. January 1, 2017: Truck no. 3 was traded for a larger one (no. 5) with a 5-year life. The agreed purchase price was 12,000. Jarrett paid the other company 1,780 cash on the transaction. The entry was a debit to Trucks, 1,780, and a credit to Cash, 1,780. 3. July 1, 2018: Truck no. 4 was damaged in a wreck to such an extent that it was sold as junk for 50 cash. Jarrett received 950 from the insurance company. The entry made by the bookkeeper was a debit to Cash, 1,000, and credits to Miscellaneous Revenue, 50, and Trucks, 950, 4. July 1, 2018: A new truck (no. 6) was acquired for 20,000 cash and debited at that amount to the Trucks account. The truck has a 5-year life. Entries for depreciation had been made at the close of each year as follows: 2016, 8,840; 2017, 5,436; 2018, 4,896; 2019, 4,356. Required: 1. Next Level For each of the 4 years, calculate separately the increase or decrease in earnings arising from the companys errors in determining or entering depreciation or in recording transactions affecting trucks. 2.

- What is the depreciation expense of the equipment for 2023? what is the recoverable amount of the equipment on december 31, 2022 how much is the impairment loss to be reported for 2022? what is the carrying value of the equipment on dec 31 2022 prior to impairment testing? show solutionarrow_forwardI am working on Case 6.34 of the text book, "Accounting, What do the numbers mean". The last part of the case states: Assume that the use of an accelerated depreciation method would have resultin 25% more accumulated depreciatiom that reported at July 30,2017, and that Campbells Retained Earnings account would have been affected by te entire difference. By what percentage would this have reduced the retained earnings amount reported at July 30,2017? Here's what I have so far: If the accelerated depreciation method increased by 25% was used than the accumulated depreciation reported would result in a change of $897.25. This is calculated by multiplying .25*3589 as reported on the balance sheet. Then the new total would be $4,486.25 of accumulated depreciation and the final total would change from $2454 to $1556.75. I am not sure how calculate the percentage decrease on the retained earnings.

- The following information relates to a company which prepares financial statements to 31st December each year: (a) On 1st January 2017, the company acquired new plant costing Ghs10million. This plant will require a complete overhaul after five years of use, at an estimated cost of Ghs1million. Accordingly, the company wishes to make a provision of Ghs200,000 for plant overhaul costs in its financial statement for the year to 31st December 2017 and then to increase this provision by Ghs200,000 every year for the next four years. This will have the effect of spreading the overhaul costs yearly over the years 2017 to 2021. (b) On 31st December 2017, the company moved from leased premises into new freehold premises. The lease on the old premises will continue for three more years at an annual cost of Ghs100,000. The lease cannot be cancelled and the premises cannot be sublet or used for any other purpose.
