Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Assets = $87,350

Liabilities = $30,450

Stockholders' Equity = $56,900

Net Income = $7,900

Explanation:

The correct amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity at month-end and net income for the month can be determined as follows:

Assets = Recorded asset value - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue = $90,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 = $87,350

Liabilities = Recorded liabilities + Unpaid wages = 30,000 + 450 = $30,450

Stockholders' Equity = Recorded Stockholders' Equity - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = $60,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $56,900

Net Income = Recorded net income - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = 11,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $7,900

Note that from the above calculations, we can obtain:

Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $30,450 + $56,900 = $87,350

This therefore confirms the accounting equation that:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $87,350

Solution and Explanation:

Calculation of Minimum lease annual payments from (MLP)

Year MLP from lessor Present value Present valur of

point of view factor 8% cash flows

1 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)=0925$ $4,350.28

2 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 2=0.857$ $4,030.47

3 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 3=0.793$ $3,729.48

4 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 4=0.735$ $3,456.71

5 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 5=0.680$ $3,198.04

Total of Minimum

lease Payments $23,515 $ 18,764.97

Add

Unguaranteed

residual value(ugrv) 4000 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge 5}=0.680$ $2,720.00

Asset to be recorded

in the books of lessor

(sum of mlp +ugrv) $27,515 $ 21,484.97

Here

Gross Investment=$27515

Lease receivable recorded in in the books of lessor(Phelps)(Mimum lease payments + Unguaranteed residual )value = $21484 $21,484

Walsh (lessee) shoiuld be recorded the amount of present value of minimum lease payments + Guaranteed Residual value=$18764.97 as asset and liabilty

b) In the books of phelps (lessor)

2017.01.01 Lease Recievble from walsh ….Dr $21,484

to Asset $21,484

(Being Lease receivable recorded )

In the books of Walsh (lessee)

2017.01.01 Asset ac ……………Dr $18,764

to Lease Liabilty(Lessor) $18,764

(Being the asset and liabilty recorded )

2017.12.31 Depreciation ……Dr 3752

(Beint Depreciation recorded charged during the year recorded 18764/5 provided for 5 years)

Here annual payment started from the at the beginning of year i.e annual lease payments start from 01.01.2018.

c) If expected residual value of $4000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books. But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $4000 $18764+2720=21484

d) If expected residual value of $3000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $3000 $18764+$2040=$20804

Digg Co. installs a manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $36,000. The machine's useful

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Annual depreciation (year 1)= $1,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Buying price= $36,000.

Useful units= 300,000 units of product.

Salvage value= $6,000

During its first year, the machine produces 14,000 units of product.

To calculate the depreciation expense for the first year under the units of production method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced

Annual depreciation= [(36,000 - 6,000)/300,000]*14,000

Annual depreciation= 0.1*14,000= $1,400
