Answer:

Swifty Company

1. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method:

                                                            2020            2021  

Equipment                                     $6,120,000  $6,120,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation      977,500    2,541,500

Year-End Book Value                   $5,143,500 $3,578,500

Depreciation Expense for the Year 977,500  $1,564,000

2. Double-declining balance method:

                                                              2020            2021  

Equipment                                       $6,120,000  $6,120,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation     1,224,000     3,182,400

Year-End Book Value                    $4,896,000  $2,937,600

Depreciation Expense for the Year 1,224,000  $1,958,400

Straight-line Method:

3. The amount of depreciation expense for the 2022 income statement is:

= $2,170,250.

4. In 2022, the depreciation base of this asset is:

= $4,020,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

July 1, 2020: Cost of snowmaking equipment = $6,120,000

Estimated salvage value of the equipment =          255,000

Depreciable amount of the equipment =           $5,865,000

Estimated useful life of the equipment = 5 years

Annual depreciation expense = $1,173,000 ($5,865,000/5)

Sum-of-the-Years'-Digits Method =15 (5+4+3+2+1)

Calculation of depreciation expense:

2020 = $977,500 (5/15 * $5,865,000)/2

2021 = $1,564,000 (4/15 * $5,865,000)

                                                            2020            2021  

Equipment                                     $6,120,000  $6,120,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation      977,500    2,541,500

Year-End Book Value                   $5,143,500 $3,578,500

Depreciation Expense for the Year 977,500  $1,564,000  

Double-Declining Balance Method (100/5 * 2) = 40%

Calculation of depreciation expense:

2020 = $1,224,000 (40% * $6,120,000)/2

2021 = $1,958,400 (40% * $4,896,000)

                                                              2020            2021  

Equipment                                       $6,120,000  $6,120,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation     1,224,000     3,182,400

Year-End Book Value                    $4,896,000  $2,937,600

Depreciation Expense for the Year 1,224,000  $1,958,400

Straight-line method:

Annual depreciation expense = $1,173,000

2020: Depreciation expense = $586,500

2021: Depreciation expense = $1,173,000

2022: Depreciable amount = $4,340,500 ($4,360,500 - $20,000)

Depreciation expense = $2,170,250 ($4,340,500/2)

                                                              2020            2021            2022  

Equipment                                       $6,120,000   $6,120,000   $6,120,000

Less: Accumulated Depreciation       586,500      1,759,500     3,929,750

Year-End Book Value                    $5,533,500  $4,360,500   $2,190,250

Depreciation Expense for the Year   586,500      1,173,000      2,170,250

Straight-line method:

Annual depreciation expense = $1,173,000

2020: Depreciation expense = $586,500

2021:

Depreciation expense = $1,173,000

Accumulated depreciation = $1,759,500 ($586,500 + $1,173,000)

Year-End Book Value          $4,360,500 ($6,120,000 - $1,759,500)

2022 Estimated Salvage Value = $340,000

2022: Depreciation basis = $4,020,500 ($4,360,500 - $340,000)

Depreciation expense = $2,010,250 ($4,020,500/2)

Several months after the reorganization, Jim Umpleby checks in with department managers to see how their employees are handling
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The correct answer would be options A and B.

Explanation:

When a company is in financial trouble or faced a bankruptcy, then a process of reorganization is used in an attempt to extend the life of the company through some special arrangement to make the organization successful and progressive.

In this question, Jim wants to know how employees of the company think of the new structure after the reorganization. So the best method to talk to employees directly is to give them a surprise visit and talk to them about the reorganization. Also town hall meetings should be arranged to meet the employees one on one in an informal gathering and talk to them about the reorganization.

The designated market value:a. is always the middle value of replacement cost, net realizable value, and net realizable value le
eduard

Answer:

a. is always the middle value of replacement cost, net realizable value, and net realizable value less a normal profit margin.

Explanation:

As we know that inventory will be recorded at cost or market value whichever is lower. But in the given case, the replacement cost would be recorded at higher values and lesser values. Higher values represent the Net realizable value whereas the lesser values represent the net realizable value less than the normal profit margin.

And if the replacement cost lies in this range than it represents the designated market value.  

Hence, option a is correct.
