A machine can be purchased for $150,000 and used for five years, yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes,

straight-line depreciation is applied, using a five-year life and a zero salvage value
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Net income 10,000 25,000 50,000 37,500 100,000
Compute the machine’s payback period (ignore taxes). (Round payback period to 3 decimal places.)

Answer:

2.69 years

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to the net income.

Straight line depreciation = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

$150,000 / 5 = $30,000

The depreciation expense each year would be $30,000.

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000 + $10,000 = $40,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $30,000 + $25,000 = $55,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 + $50,000 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $30,000 + $37,500 = $67,500

Cash flow in year 5 = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000

In the first year, -150,000 + $40,000 = $-110,000 is recovered

In the second year, $-110,000 + $55,000 = $-55,000 is recovered

In the third year, $-55,000 + $80,000 = $25,000 is recovered.

The cash payback period is 2 years + $-55,000 / $80,000 = 2.69 years

I hope my answer helps you

Carrying Amount $120,000 Selling Price $80,000 Costs of Disposal $5,000 Expected Future Cash Flows $90,000 Present Value of expe
frez [133]

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Under IAS 36, an asset is said to be impaired where the carrying amount is more than the recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use which is the present value of the expected future cashflow.

Given that;

Carrying Amount = $120,000

Selling Price = $80,000

Costs of Disposal = $5,000

Hence fair value less cost to sell = $80,000 - $5,000 = $75,000  

Expected Future Cash Flows = $90,000

Present Value of expected future cash flows = $85,000 ( this is the value in use)

Recoverable amount = $85,000 (since the value in use is higher that the fair value less cost to sell)

This is lower than the carrying amount hence the asset is impaired.

Impairment = $120,000 - $85,000

= $35,000
