Answer:

NPV    =  $24,910.26  

The investment is economically justified because it increases the wealth pg Jacobson Recovery by   $24,910.26

Explanation:

To determine whether the investment is justifiable we will compute the the Net present Value of the project

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV = PV of cash inflows - PV of cash outflows  

<em />

<em>PV of cash  average revenue = A × (1-(1+r)^(-n))/r</em>

A- average revenue, r- discount ate- 12% , n- number of years- 10

PV of reveue = 52,000 × (1-(1.12)^(-10)/0.12= $293,811.60

<em>PV of salvage value = F × (1+r</em><em>)</em><em>^(-n)</em>

                                 = 50,000 × 1.12^(-10)

                                  = 16,098.66183

NPV = $293,811.60 + 16,098.66183  - $285,000

         =  $24,910.26

The complete question is:

Bailand Company purchased a building for $148,000 that had an estimated residual value of $8,000 and an estimated service life of 10 years. Bailand purchased the building 4 years ago and has used straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the fifth year (before it records depreciation expense for the year), the following independent situations occur:

1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years).

2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.

3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense.

Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all the journal entries relating to the building for the fifth year. Ignore income taxes.
