Answer:
the depreciation expense recorded is $680
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:
= (Purchase cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated life)
= ($17,500 - $1,180) ÷ ( 4 years)
= $4,080
Now the 2 months depreciation is i.e. from November to December
= $4,080 × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $680
Hence, the depreciation expense recorded is $680
Answer:
(A) Half-year and (D) Half-year
Explanation:
MACRS stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System and is the most commonly-used tax depreciation method .Without getting into too much detail, MACRS is accelerated depreciation that allows for a larger deduction while the asset is still new. By comparison, straight-line depreciation gives you the same deduction year after year over the asset's useful life. MACRS cannot be used for intangible property, nor can it be used to depreciate. MACRS convention determines the number of months for which you can claim depreciation during a partial year, either when you first placed the asset in service or when you disposed of it. The mid-month convention only applies to residential rental property, nonresidential real property, and railroad grading or tunnel bore. It simply means that you get a half month's worth of depreciation no matter when that asset was placed into (or taken from) service during that month, whether that was at the beginning, middle, or end of the month. The half-year convention works the same way but instead of the month it goes by the year. In other words, you'll get 6 months' depreciation if the asset was placed into service or disposed of during the year, no matter if it was in January or December.
Answer:
Wal-Mart's previous revenue policy was inconsistent with the revenue recognition principle. It used to recognize revenue when performance obligations have not been met.
Explanation:
In response to SAB 101 issued by the Stock Exchange Commission in 1999, Wal-Mart changed its revenue recognition policy for layaway transactions. Layaway transactions are those in which Wal-Mart sets aside merchandise for customers who make partial payment. Before SAB 101, Wal-Mart recognized all revenue on the sale at the-time of the layaway. After the change, Wal-Mart does not recognize revenue until customers satisfy all payment obligations and take possession of the merchandise.
