Answer: The correct answer is "D. It begins when the engagement letter is signed and continues until the report for the third year is issued unless the relationship is terminated sooner.".

Explanation: The statement "It begins when the engagement letter is signed and continues until the report for the third year is issued unless the relationship is terminated sooner." best describes the period of the professional engagement as it applies to a three-year engagement to audit client's financial statements since this type of professional commitment begins with the signing of the document that formalizes the commitment and is in force until the issuance of the last report unless the relationship is resolved beforehand by another circumstance.

Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $150,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 15,000 ope
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

(a). Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

(b). 1st Year Depreciation = $20,000

for 2nd year depreciation = $26,000

(c) 1st year Depreciation= $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = $36,000

Explanation:

a).

Annual Depreciation of Equipment = (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life of Equipment

= ($150,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5

= $24,000

Rate of Straight Line Depreciation = Annual Depreciation of Equipment ÷ (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) × 100

= 24,000 ÷ ( $150,000 - 30,000) × 100

= $24,000 ÷ $120,000 × 100 = 20%

Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

b). Unit Of Production For 1st Year Depreciation= (Cost Of Equipment -Residual Value) × Annual Production Units ÷ Total Operating Hours

= ($150,000 - $30,000) × 2,500 ÷ 15,000 = $20,000

Unit of Production for 2nd year depreciation = ( $150,000 - $30,000) × 32,50 ÷ 15,000

= $26,000

c). Declining Balance Depreciation Rate = Straight Line Depreciation Rate × 2

= 20% × 2 = 40%   (Because Declining Balance at Twice the Straight Line Rate)

1st year Depreciation= $150,000 × 40÷100 = $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = ($150,000 - $60,000) × 40÷100 =$36,000

marin [14]

Answer:

1. a. Allocated prices

First add the market values = 444,150 + 255,150 + 56,700 + 189,000 = $945,0

00

Building allocated price                                     Land allocated price

= 444,150/ 945,000 * 830,000                        = 255,150/945,000 * 830,000

= $‭390,100‬                                                           = $224,100

Land improvement allocated price                  Four vehicles allocate price

= 56,700/945,000 * 830,000                          = 189,000/945,000 * 830,000

= $49,800                                                        = $166,000

b. Journal entry

Date                 Account Details                             Debit                   Credit

Jan. 1, 2017      Building                                       $390,100

                        Land                                            $224,100

                        Land improvement                     $49,800

                        Vehicles                                      $166,000

                        Cash                                                                         $830,000

2. Depreciation on building using straight-line method.

= (390,100 - 28,000) / 15

= $‭24,140‬

3. Depreciation on land improvements using double declining method.

First do straight line:

= 49,800/ 5 years

= $9,960

Straight line rate of depreciation = 9,960/49,800 = 20%

Double declining will be twice that rate = 40%

Depreciation = 40% * 49,800

= $‭19,920‬

Phoenix revenues                      $648,000

-Phoenix expenses                    ($412,000)

Phoenix Net Income                  $236,000

Phoenix’s consolidated retained earnings balance at December 31, 2018  = $347,075.00  (same as Phoenix because of equity method use)  

c) What amount should Phoenix report for Sedona’s customer list?

Consideration transferred at fair value      $784,000

Book value acquired                                   <u>($548,800)</u>

Excess fair over book value                        $235,200

To Equipment                                               <u>$95,000   </u>

To customer list (4 year life)                        <u> $140,200 </u>

Three years since acquisition of customer list = $140,200/4 years = $35,050. Hence, Phoenix report $35,050 as Sedona’s customer list.
