Provide a recommendation to Kimishima on how Nintendo should formulate its strategy to compete successfully in the gaming indust

On January 1, 2005 Franz Company purchased a truck that cost $22,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 5 years and a $4,
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: The amount of depreciation expense recognized in 2006, using the double declining balance method is $5,280.

And the journal entries required are:

Debit Depreciation expense                     $5,280

Credit Accumulated depreciation             $5,280

Explanation: The double-declining method is otherwise known as reducing balance method. It is usually derived by using the formula below:

Double-declining depreciation = 2 X SLDP X BV

Where SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

           BV = Book value of the asset (Cost minus depreciation)

So using the straight-line depreciation method, we need to remove the salvage value from the cost and then divided by 5 years. That is, ($22,000 - $4,000) / 5 years = $3,060 yearly depreciation expense.

However, under the double-declining method, we need to divide the 100% by the useful life of the asset first to get the SLDP then multiply by 2, that is, 100%/5 years = 20% x 2 = 40%.

So 40% x $22,000 in year 1 (December 31, 2005) is $8,800

In year 2 (December 31, 2006), 40% x $13,200 ($22,000 - $8,800) = $5,280 and so on. The depreciation expense would stop immediately it falls below the salvage value of $4,000.

So the book value of the asset at the end of year 2 is $7,920 ($13,200 - $4,000 accumulated depreciation).

A company purchased new equipment for $60,000. The company paid cash for the equipment. Other costs associated with the equipmen
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: The cost of the equipment is $66,500.

Explanation: Under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an asset comprises:

  • purchase price plus import duties and taxes
  • any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management
  • the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located

In the question, $60,000 was the purchase price, the transportation cost of $1,000 was necessary to bring the asset to the location intended by management, $3,000 was the sales tax and the installation cost of $2,500 was also necessary for the asset to function as intended by management. So all these costs would be capitalized as the cost of the equipment as $66,500.
