Answer: Option B

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Sunland Company

The amount of interest cost to be capitalized during 2020 is:

= $948,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of purchased land = $2,680,000

Construction expenditures:

Date                        Expenditures:

January 1, 2020       $ 1,780,000

April 1, 2020              2,530,000

May 1, 2020               4,490,000

June 1, 2020             4,720,000

Total expenditure $13,520,000

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $4,300,000

Debts:

January 1, 2020, 9%, 3-year note payable = $3,650,000

January 1, 2020, 12%, 6-year note payable balance = $1,400,000

Interests capitalization:

Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $451,500 ($4,300,000 * 10.5%)

3-year note payable = $328,500 ($3,650,000 * 9%)

6-year note payable balance = $168,000 ($1,400,000 * 12%)

Total interest to be capitalized = $948,000

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234

Sheffield Corp. purchased machinery for $381,150 on January 1, 2018. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years
aniked [119]

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation balance on 31 December 2019 = $73,326

Explanation:

Total Cost of the machine = $381,150

Salvage value = $18,150

Therefore value to be depreciated = $381,150 - $18,150 = $363,000

Life of asset = 10 years.

Units to be produced = 290,400

Working hours = 25,000

Under the units of output activity method the asset shall be depreciated based on output, but here the output of machinery is 25,000 hours in its life thus, depreciation shall be charged based on number of hours and not on units.

Therefore accumulated depreciation on December 31 2019 shall be based on total hours of 2018 and 2019

= 2,650 + 2,400 = 5,050 hours

Depreciation = \frac{363,000}{25,000} \times 5,050 = $73,326

Accumulated depreciation balance on 31 December 2019 = $73,326
