Kleener Co. acquired a new delivery truck at the beginning of its current fiscal year. The truck cost $52,000 and has an estimat

ed useful life of four years and an estimated salvage value of $8,000.a. Calculate depreciation expense for each year of the truck’s life using1. Straight-line depreciation.2. Double-declining-balance depreciation.b. Calculate the truck’s net book value at the end of its third year of use under each depreciation method.c. Assume that Kleener Co. had no more use for the truck after the end of the third year and that at the beginning of the fourth year it had an offer from a buyer who was willing to pay $12,400 for the truck. Should the depreciation method used by Kleener Co. affect the decision to sell the truck?

Answer:

A.The Net Book Value after Year 3 in the straight line method will be $19,000

B. The Net Book Value after Year 3 in the double declining balance method will be $8,000

C.the depreciation method used will affect the decision of Kleener Co in accepting or rejecting the offer

Explanation:

Asset depreciation is the recognition of the declining value of an Asset over the period considered its useful life.

Without an upgrade it is unlikely an asset will deliver the same level of efficiency and generate as much output as the first Year of its operations, hence the need to recognize depreciation in the Income statement and reduce the Value of the Asset by the same in the Balance Sheet.

Straight line method of depreciation

It is Value of Asset less its salvage value divided by the estimated useful life of the Asset

= ($52,000 - $8,000)/4years

= $11,000 Annually (is the depreciation expense)

Year 1 expense = $11,000 leaving a Net book Value of (52,000 - 11,000) = $41,000

Year 2 expense = $11,000 leaving a Net book Value of (41,000 - 11,000) = $30,000

Year 3 expense = $11,000 leaving a Net book Value of (30,000 - 11,000) = $19,000

Double declining Balance depreciation

This is also called accelerated depreciation method because it depreciates an Asset at twice the rate done under Straight line method

By nature of this depreciation technique, Assets depreciated expenses are higher at the early years and lower as the Asset is gradually approaching it's terminal life.

The first task is to determine the depreciation rate

= 1/useful life x 100%

=1/4 x 100% = 25%

Next step is to apply the double depreciation rate on the cost (balance) of Asset Yearly

= 2 x Cost of Assets x depreciation rate

Year 1 depreciation expense = 2 x $52,000 x 25% = $26,000

This leaves a net book value of ($52,000 - $26,000) = $26,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = 2 x $26,000 x 25% = $13,000

This leaves a net book value of ($26,000 - $13,000) = $13,000

Year 3 depreciation expense = 2 x $13,000 x 25% = $6,500

However we shall only recognize $5,000 because recognizing $6,500 will deplete the asset value lower than the Salavage Value of $8,000.

This leaves a net book value of ($13,000 - $5,000) = $8,000

C. Offer at the Beginning of the 4th year for $12,400 for the truck

i. If Kleener Co uses the Straight Line method of depreciation, the asset Net Book Value of $19,000 exceeds the offered Value -  it will mean selling at a loss

ii. If the Double declining Balance Method is used However, the Net Book Value of $8,000 is lower than the offer and will be a Profit accepting the Offer.

Thus the depreciation method used will affect the decision of Kleener Co in accepting or rejecting the offer

Based on the spreadsheet below, which of the following is a true statement? a. The net cash flow is negative. b. The net cash fl
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

c. The net cash flow is positive.

Explanation:

A net positive balance occurs when the total cash inflow exceeds total cash outflows.  Inflow is cash coming in, while outflow is cash leaving the business. In a business, sales represent cash inflows, while expenditure represents cash outflows.

In this case, the sales total to $1,600 while expenses are $1,490. The net cash flow is the difference between the inflows and the outflows. Here, the difference is a positive $110.

Savanna Company is considering two capital investment proposals. Relevant data on each project are as follows: Project Red Proje
liberstina [14]

Answer:

(a) Cash payback period:

     Project Red = 5.5 years

     Project blue  = 4.6 years

(b) Net present value for project Red = $19,760

     Net present value for project Blue =$164,580

(c) Annual rate of return:

Project Red =11.36%

Project Blue  =18.75%

(d) Project Blue

Explanation:

Given Data;  

Project Blue Capital investment = $640,000

Project Red Capital investment = $440,000

Project Red  Annual Net income = $ 25,000.

Project Blue Annual Net income = $ 60,000

Annual depreciation Project Red = (440000/8)

                                                       = 55,000

Annual depreciation Project Blue = (640000/8)

                                                       =  80,000

Annual cash inflow project A = $ 80,000

Annual cash inflow project B = $140,000

(a)

Cash payback period = Initial investment/cash flow per period

Project Red = 440000 /80000

                   = 5.5 years

Project blue = 640000/ 140000

                    = 4.6 years

(b)

Project Red  Present value of cash inflows = 80000 ×5.747

                                                                       = $459,760

Project Blue Present value of cash inflows  =140000×5.747

                                                                        = 804580

Net present value for project Red = $459,760 - $440,000

                                                        = $19,760

Net present value for project Blue = 804580 - $640,000  

                                                         =$164,580

(c) Annual rate of return:

Project Red   = $25,000 / ($440000)/2

                       =11.36%

Project Blue =  $60000/(640000/2)

                    =18.75%

(d) Savanna should select Project Blue because it has a higher positive NPV and a higher annual rate of return. AND Project Blue has early cash back period also
