On January 1, 2014, Borstad Company purchased equipment for $1,180,000. It is depreciating the equipment over 25 years using the

straight-line method and a zero residual value. Late in 2019, because of technological changes in the industry and reduced selling prices for its products, Borstad believes that its equipment may be impaired and will have a remaining useful life of 8 years. Borstad estimates that the equipment will produce cash inflows of $400,000 and will incur cash outflows of $295,000 each year for the next 8 years. It is not able to determine the fair value of the equipment based on a current selling price. Borstad’s discount rate is 12%.
1. Prepare schedules to determine whether, at the end of 2019, the equipment is impaired and if so, the impairment loss to be recognized.
2. Prepare the journal entr to record the impairment.

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Purchase cost - 1,180,000

Useful life - 25

Annual depreciation = 47,200

Timeline - Jan 1 , 2014 - 2019 = 6 years

Accumulated depreciation = 47200*6=283,200

Carrying value at 2019 = (1,180,000 - 283,200)= 896,800

B) Annual cash flow - 400,000

Annual cash outflow - (295,000)

Net cash inflow= 105,000

Net cash flow for 8 years = 105000*8 = 840000

Since the net cash inflow is less than the carrying value , there is an impairment.

PV value of the net cash inflow at 12% discount for 8 years = 521,602

Impairment loss = $375,198    

At December 21.2019

2.) Debit impairment loss - $375,198

Credit equipment - $375,198

enot [183]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it is missing the accounts and numbers, so I looked for a similar question:

<em>The Rehe Comany sells its razors at $3 per unit. The company uses a first-in, first-out actual costing system. A fixed manufacturing cost rate is computed at the end of each year by dividing the actual fixed manufacturing costs by the actual production units. The following data are related to its first two years of operation: </em>

<em>                    2011 2012 </em>

<em>Sales 1000 units  1200 units </em>

<em>Costs: </em>

<em>Variable manufacturing  700 500</em>

<em>Fixed manufacturing  700 700</em>

<em>Variable operating (marketing) 1000 1200 </em>

<em>Fixed operating (marketing)  400 400</em>

<em />

                                                           2011                  2012

Sales                                               1000 units         1200 units

Production                                          1400                  1000  

Costs:  

Variable manufacturing                      $700               $500

per unit $0.50

Fixed manufacturing                           $700               $700

Variable operating (marketing)         $1000             $1200

Fixed operating (marketing)               $400               $400

cogs under absorption costing 2011 = ($1,400 / 1,400) x 1,000 = $1,000

cogs under absorption costing 2012 = $400 + ($1,200 / 1,000) x 800 = $1,360

<u>Operating costs:                             ($1,400)               ($1,600) </u>

Net operating income:                       $600                   $640

3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.

Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400

Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.

4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.

b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.

Barnes Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $305,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $21
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1. $30,500;

2. $30,000;

3. $22,000;

=> Option 1 produce the highest net income.

Explanation:

We have sell price per unit = 305K /5K = $61

1.  Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume:

Sell price = 61 x 1.1 = $67.1

Sales revenue = 67.1 x 5,000 = $335,500

Increase in sales revenue = 335.5K - 305K = $30,500

As costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,500.

2.  Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales:

New variable cost = $305,000 x 60% = $183,000

Saving in variable cost = 213K - 183K = $30,000

As fixed cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $30,000

3. Reduce fixed costs by $22,000:

As variable cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in fixed cost which is $22,000

Kyle plans to punch patrick. he calls patrick and tells him he will punch him tomorrow at 4:00 pm. at 2:00 pm the next day, kyle
stepan [7]
<span>Technically, Kyle lied to Patrick about the time at which he would punch him. However, there is no contract to prove that this was what was said on the phone (heresay). Additionally, it does not mention that there was any sort of agreement or consideration made between the two of them regarding this. And even if there was, there might be a legality issue due to the fact that punching is both assault and battery when committed on a person, so the contract may not even be enforceable. In terms of civil torts, Kyle didn't really commit anything that is pursuable in court, but did commit battery and assault. If Patrick fell or hit his head further and was injured/killed, he would be liable for an involuntary action, of which would be manslaughter if Patrick died. He would also be able to be sued for wrongful death by Patrick's family.</span>
