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

On October 1, Company B records 1 year of prepaid rent in an income statement account then adjusts for the unexpired prepaid ren
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The first journal entry was not the most appropriate, but since the mistake was correctly adjusted at the end of the year, both assets and expenses will be the same whether they did it correctly the first time or they had to adjust a mistake at the end of the year.

E.g. something like this happened

October 1, rent expense for 1 year

Dr Rent expense 12,000

    Cr Cash 12,000

December 31, adjustment to rent expense

Dr Prepaid rent 10,000

    Cr Rent expense 10,000

they should have recorded it as:

October 1, prepaid rent for 1 year

Dr Prepaid rent 12,000

    Cr Cash 12,000

December 31, adjustment to rent expense

Dr Rent expense 2,000

    Cr Prepaid rent 2,000

Whichever way you recorded the transactions, the balances a the end of the year would be:

prepaid rent (asset) $10,000

rent expense (expense) $2,000

Answer:

The journal entry to record the issuance of new stocks is:

Dr Cash 164,800

    Cr Common stock 72,100

    Cr Additional paid in capital in excess of par value 92,700

When you issue new stocks, the common stock account increases by par value (= 10,300 stocks x $7). Any money obtained over par value must be recorded under the additional paid in capital account (= 10,300 x $9).

After seeing advertisements for the Toyota Prius, Joel becomes interested and does some Internet research. However, after seeing
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A lagged effect in marketing can be defined as the delay that comes from an effort put into marketing a product.

In marketing, efforts put into an advertisement can yield a greater result even after the lag period. This means that a product might need more than one advertisement and the combined effects of the advertisements will be seen overtime if not immediately.

In the above question, Joel still went on to get a Ford fusion after seeing the Toyota advert which means that something from his research must have influenced his decision. Either price, quality, or any other factors must have been responsible for Joel's choice but it is definitely not the lagged effect.

Cheers.
