A heavy construction firm has been awarded a contract to build a large concrete dam. It is expected that a total of 8 years will

be required to complete the work. The firm will buy $600,000 worth of special equipment for the job. During the preparation of the job cost estimate, the following utilization schedule was computed for the special equipment:
Year Utilization (hr/yr)
1 6000
2 4000
3 4000
4 1600
5 800
6 800
7 2200
8 2200

At the end of the job, it is estimated that the equipment can be sold at auction for $60,000.

a. Compute the sum-of-years-digits' depreciation schedule.
b. Compute the unit-of-production depreciation schedule

Answer:

Heavy Construction Firm

a. Sum-of-years-digits' Depreciation Schedule

Year           Cost             Depreciation   Accumulated    Net Book Value

                                          Expense       Depreciation

Year 1      $600,000       $120,000         $120,000          $480,000

Year 2     $600,000       $105,000        $225,000          $375,000

Year 3     $600,000        $90,000         $315,000          $285,000

Year 4     $600,000        $75,000        $390,000           $210,000

Year 5    $600,000        $60,000        $450,000           $150,000

Year 6    $600,000        $45,000        $495,000           $105,000

Year 7    $600,000        $30,000        $525,000            $75,000

Year 8   $600,000         $15,000         $540,000           $60,000

b. The Unit-of-Production Depreciation Schedule

Year           Cost             Depreciation   Accumulated    Net Book Value

                                          Expense       Depreciation

Year 1      $600,000       $150,000         $150,000          $450,000

Year 2     $600,000       $100,000        $250,000          $350,000

Year 3     $600,000       $100,000        $350,000          $250,000

Year 4     $600,000        $40,000        $390,000           $210,000

Year 5    $600,000        $20,000         $410,000           $190,000

Year 6    $600,000        $20,000        $430,000           $170,000

Year 7    $600,000        $55,000        $485,000            $115,000

Year 8   $600,000        $55,000         $540,000           $60,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of special equipment for the dam construction = $600,000

Estimated useful life = 8 years

Salvage value of equipment = $60,000

Depreciable amount = $540,000 ($600,000 - $60,000)

Sum-of-the-years-digit = 36 (8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)

Utilization Schedule for the Special Equipment:

Year Utilization (hr/yr)  Unit of Production                SYD Depreciation

1               6000                $150,000 (6,000 * $25)   $120,000 (8 * $15,000)

2              4000                $100,000 (4,000 * $25)   $105,000 (7 * $15,000)

3              4000                $100,000 (4,000 * $25)    $90,000 (6* $15,000)  

4              1600                  $40,000 (1,600 * $25)     $75,000 (5 * $15,000)

5               800                  $20,000 (800 * $25)       $60,000 (4 * $15,000)

6               800                  $20,000 (800 * $25)       $45,000 (3 * $15,000)

7            2200                  $55,000 (2,200 * $25)    $30,000 (2 * $15,000)

8            2200                  $55,000 (2,200 * $25)    $15,000 (1 * $15,000)

Total   21,600 hours

Depreciation rate per hour = $25 ($540,000/21,600)

Sum-of-the-years-digits depreciation rate = $15,000 ($540,000/36)

A mutual fund is offered with no up-front sales charge and no contingent deferred sales charge. It charges 50 basis points of 12
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The correct statement is C. This statement is misleading because a no-load fund cannot charge more than 25 basis points of 12b-1 fees

Explanation:

THIS STATEMENT IS MISLEADING BECAUSE A NO-LOAD FUND CANNOT CHARGE MORE THAN 25 BASIS POINTS OF 12B-1 FEES.

A mutual fund is not permitted to advertise itself as a "no-load" fund if it charges 12b-1 fees of more than .25% (25 basis points) annually. 12b-1 fees are charges against net asset value that pay for the cost of soliciting new investment to the fund, and they can be used to compensate salespersons that sell the fund's shares.
