Question: I was unable to find the complete question on the google search, however I find a question that was similar to the question you pasted. So I will prefer to solve the following question:

On December 31, 2017, Travis Tritt Inc. has a machine with a book value of $940,000. The original cost and related accumulated depreciation at this date are as follows.

Machine                                         $1,300,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation <u>  360,000   </u>

Book value                            $940,000

Depreciation is computed at $60,000 per year on a straight-line basis.

Presented below is a set of independent situations. For each independent situation, indicate the journal entry to be made to record the transaction. Make sure that depreciation entries are made to update the book value of the machine prior to its disposal.

A) A fire completely destroys the machine on August 31, 2018. An insurance settlement of $430,000 was received for this casualty. Assume the settlement was received immediately.

b) On April 1, 2018, Tritt sold the machine for $1,040,000 to Dwight Yoakam Company.

(c) On July 31, 2018, the company donated this machine to the Mountain King City Council. The fair market value of the machine at the time of the donation was estimated to be $1,100,000.

Answer:  

Case A

In this case the machine was destroyed by fire. Fortunately, it was insured and as a result we received an amount of $430,000. This is the recoverable amount. Now we will treat this accident as a disposal and calculate the loss on the disposal of the asset.

Step 1 Remove all the accumulated depreciation associated with the Machine

Dr Accumulated Depreciation  $360,000

Step 2 Remove the value of the Asset by cost from the Machine account

Cr   Machine (cost)         $1300,000

Step 3 Calculate the Depreciation for the 8 months

$60,000 is calculated for one year and is given in the question.

For 8 months:

Depreciation for 8 months = $60,000 * 8/12 = $40,000

Dr Depreciation Expense  $40,000

Step 4 Record the insurance received as cash received due to asset destruction.

Dr Cash Received   $430,000

Step 5 Calculate the loss or profit on the destruction

(Profit) / Loss = $1300,000 Cost - $360,000 Accumulated Depreciation - Cash Received $430,000 - $40,000 Depreciation for 8 months = $470,000

We have a loss of $470,000 and we should record it by:

Dr Loss on Disposal  $470,000

Summary

Dr Loss on Disposal                $470,000

Dr Depreciation Expense         $40,000

Dr Cash Received                     $430,000

Dr Accumulated Depreciation  $360,000

Cr               Machine (cost)                            $1300,000

Case 2

In this case the asset is been sold for $1040,000 in the start of April,2018 which means it is sold after 3 months.

The first two steps are same.

Step 1 Remove all the accumulated depreciation associated with the Machine

Dr Accumulated Depreciation  $360,000

Step 2 Remove the value of the Asset by cost from the Machine account

Cr   Machine (cost)         $1300,000

Step 3 Calculate the Depreciation for the 3 months

For 3 months:

Depreciation for 3 months = $60,000 * 3/12 = $15,000

Dr Depreciation Expense  $15,000

Step 4 Record the cash received due to asset disposal.

Dr Cash Received   $1,040,000

Step 5 Calculate the loss or profit on the destruction

(Profit) / Loss = $1300,000 Cost - $360,000 Accumulated Depreciation - Cash Received $1,040,000 - $15,000 Depreciation for 3 months = ($115,000)

We have a Profit of $115,000 and we should record it by:

Cr Profit on Disposal  $115,000

Case C

In this case, the asset is donated at the start of July, 2018. This asset will be treated the same way but their is exception that it will be revalued to the fair value of the asset and thereafter will treated as disposal for making donations. This fair value will be treated as Donation Expense and will be debited.

Revaluation of the asset:

The asset will be revalued to $1,100,000 from its carrying value. Its carrying value is $940,000 and the excessive amount will be 160,000 which will be adjusted against accumulated depreciation.

Dr Accumulated depreciation $160,000

Cr Revaluation reserve                        $160,000

Now we will treat the asset as disposal and will remove the revaluation reserve according to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. The adjustment will go to Retained earnings:

Dr Revaluation reserve   $160,000

Cr Retained Earnings               $160,000

Now we will treat the asset as disposal made against Donation:

Step 1 Remove all the accumulated depreciation associated with the Machine by $200,000 (360,000-160,000).

Dr Accumulated Depreciation  $200,000

Step 2 Remove the value of the Asset by cost from the Machine account

Cr   Machine (cost)         $1300,000

Step 3 Calculate the Depreciation for the 6 months

For 6 months:

Depreciation for 6 months = $60,000 * 6/12 = $30,000

Dr Depreciation Expense  $30,000

Step 4 There is no cash receipt because of the asset donation.

Step 5 Calculate the loss or profit on the destruction

(Profit) / Loss = $1300,000 Cost - $200,000 Accumulated Depreciation - Cash Received $0 - $30,000 Depreciation for 6 months = $1,070,000

We have made a donation of $1,070,000 and we should record it as expense:

Dr Donation Expense  $1,070,000

Alex

Answer:

Lenders loose and borrowers gain

Explanation:

Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)

In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.

Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal

The campground will make the most economic profit whenit has property rights to a clean lake . True or False: The fish cannery w
babymother [125]

Answer:

hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question

Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead,

The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.

Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.

Action

Profit

Fish Cannery

Campground

Total

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

No Recycling 2,000 1,000  

Recycling 1,500 1,800  

Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is   .

When the fish cannery uses the recycling method, the campground earns $1,800−$1,000=$800$1,800−$1,000=$800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the campground should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the fish cannery to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the fish cannery's economic profit by $2,000−$1,500=$500$2,000−$1,500=$500 per week. Therefore, the fish cannery should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $500 per week.

Suppose the campground has the property rights to the lake. That is, the campground has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method and will pay the campground   per week.

Now, suppose the fish cannery has the property rights to the lake, including the right to pollute it. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method, and the campground will pay the fish cannery   per week.

ANSWER

  • True
  • True

Explanation:

The campground will make the most economic profit when it has property rights to a clean lake : True. this is true because the Fish cannery will be using the recycling method and from the table it is seen that when the recycling method is used The Campground make the most economic profit

The fish cannery will use the recycling method regardless of who has the property right : TRUE . this is because the Fish cannery will use the recycling method anyways because the recycling method would not pollute the water hence not interfering with the campground activities in case they own the property rights.
