Determining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management

objectives
On January 3, 2018, Rapid Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $100,000. Before placing the truck in service, Rapid spent $3,000 painting it, $600 replacing tires, and $10,400 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $12,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 32,000 miles in each of the first four years and 8,000 miles in the fifth year—136,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Andy Sargeant, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
Rapid prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use, Consider the first year that Rapid uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company’s objectives.

Answer:

total cost = $100,000 + $3,000 + $600 + $10,400 = $114,000

straight line depreciation expense = ($114,000 - $12,000) x 1/5 = $20,400

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $20,400                         $93,600

2                  $20,400                         $73,200

3                  $20,400                         $52,800

4                  $20,400                         $32,400

5                  $20,400                         $12,000

<u>RESULTS IN HIGHER INCOME DURING THE FIRST YEAR. </u>

<u />

units of production deprecation = ($114,000 - $12,000) / 136,000 = $0.75 per mile

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $24,000                         $90,000

2                  $24,000                         $66,000

3                  $24,000                         $42,000

4                  $24,000                         $18,000

5                  $6,000                           $12,000

double-declining-balance depreciation:

depreciation year 1 = $114,000 x 2/5 = $45,600

depreciation year 2 = $68,400 x 2/5 = $27,360

depreciation year 3 = $41,040 x 2/5 = $16,416

depreciation year 4 = $24,624 x 2/5 = $9,850

depreciation year 5 = $14,774 - $12,000 = $2,774

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $45,600                         $68,400

2                  $27,360                         $41,040

3                  $16,416                           $24,624

4                  $9,850                           $14,774

5                  $2,774                            $12,000

lidiya [134]

Answer:

d. blind

Explanation:

The Johari window label is used to provide an explanation of the relationship between employers and employees. It gives an explanation of some psychological issues that inform the behavior of these two groups. The quadrant of the Johari window labeled <em>blind reveals what the employer knows about the employee, but the employee does not know that about himself due mostly to a lack of self-awareness.</em> This is the case between Billy and his employer who knows about his ability to pitch a deal, but which Billy is not so confident about.

The employer could help Billy overcome the problem of lack of self-awareness by encouraging him to reveal information about himself.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) $28 Million

b) -$24 Million

Explanation:

The first part of the question is to determine the pension liability tht should be reported in the balance sheet

To do this, we use the following formula

Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets

= $65 million - $37 Million = $28 Million

Part B) This part says to dettermine the amount JDS would report if the planned asset increase to $89 million

The formula Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets  still should be used but there is a difference as follows

$65 million - $89 Million = -$24 Million

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return is shown below;

As we know that

The Average rate of return = Net income ÷ Average investment

where,

Net income is

= (Selling price per unit - totat cost per unit) × additional units sales

= ($212 - $200) × $4,500 units

= $54,000

And, the average investment is

= (cost price + equipment) ÷ 2

= ($418,500 + $31,500) ÷ 2

= $225,000

So, the average rate of return is

= $54,000 ÷ $225,000 × 100

= 24%
