Babcock Company purchased a piece of machinery for $36,000 on January 1, 2019, and has been depreciating the machine using the s

um-of-the-years'-digits method based on a five-year estimated useful life and no salvage value. On January 1, 2021, Babcock decided to switch to the straight-line method of depreciation. The salvage value is still zero and the estimated useful life is changed to a total of six years from the date of purchase. Ignore income taxes. Required: 1. Prepare the appropriate journal entry, if any, to record the accounting change under GAAP. 2. Prepare the journal entry to record depreciation for 2021.

Answer:

<u>Requirement 1:</u>

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $9,600

Cr Retained Earnings  Account      $9,600

<u>Requirement 2:</u>

Dr Depreciation Expense $6,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $6,000

Explanation:

Year  Remaining Life of machine  Depreciation fraction

1                               5                                           5/15

2                              4                                           4/15

3                              3                                           3/15

4                              2                                           2/15

5                          <u>    1     </u>                                       1/15

Total                       15  

Now here, the depreciation formula is as under:

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) * Fraction value

<u>Year 2019:</u>

The sum of years digit fraction would be 5/15 and the cost of the machinery is $36,000. So

Depreciation Expense = ($36,000 - 0) * 5/15  = $12,000

<u>Year 2020:</u>

The sum of years digit fraction would be 5/15 and the cost of the machinery is $36,000. So

Depreciation Expense = ($36,000 - 0) * 4/15  = $9,600

<u>Year 2021:</u>

Now in this year the there is change in estimate and a switch in the use of the depreciation method, which is now straight line method. The change in estimate only includes the useful life of the asset which is 6 years from the date of purchase.

So for straight-line depreciation:

Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value)  / Useful Life

By simply putting values, we have:

Depreciation Expense = $36,000 / 6 years = $6,000 per year

So this means, according to change in accounting policy, the excess depreciation charged must be eliminated from the previous years. The depreciation charge for the previous 2 years must be $12,000 and the excess depreciation charge is calculated as under:

Carrying value of the asset = $21,600 - $12,000  = $9,600

<u>Requirement 1:</u>

The double entry according to the US GAAP, for the excess depreciation charge in the previous years would be the waiving off of retained earnings with the excess depreciation amount calculated above.

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $9,600

Cr Retained Earnings  Account      $9,600

<u></u>

<u>Requirement 2:</u>

The depreciation expense for the year 2021, would be recorded as under:

Dr Depreciation Expense $6,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $6,000

A balance sheet that displays assets and liabilities into current versus noncurrent categories is commonly called a:________a) c
Semenov [28]

Answer:

c) classified balance sheet.

Explanation:

A classified balance sheet can be described as a balance sheet in which the information about assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity of a company is presented by aggregating or classifying it into subcategories of accounts.

The advantage of a classified balance sheet is that it easier to read and it makes it easier for readers to obtain required information than when the information is just presented in a large number of line items.

The classifications mostly used within a classified balance sheet include  Intangible assets, fixed assets (or Property, Plant, and Equipment), current assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities, and shareholders' equity.

In accounting, the addition of these classifications is required to match the accounting equation stated as follows:

Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholders' Equity

On january 1, a company issued and sold a $460,000, 3%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $456,000. interest is pay
Bad White [126]

To find the carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payments, we need to do the calculations to find the interest ..

Calculation of Interest:-

Cash interest payment of $ 6,900 ( 1.5% x $ 460,000) at the end of each semiannual period during the bonds life of 10 years… ( 3% / 2 = 1.5%)

That is $ 6,900 is paid for every six months say from Jan 30th to June 30 and June 30 to Dec 31……

So, every year we will pay $ 13,800 ( $ 6,900 + $ 6,900 ) for 20 periods ( two payments are made for every year, so for 10 years , we need to make the interest payment for 20 periods…)

Now lets amortize a bond discount.. (Amortizing is nothing but paying back

Straight Line Method… This method allocates an equal portion of the total bond interest expense to each interest period .

We divide the total bond interest expense of $ 142,000 by 20

This gives the interest expense of $ 7,100 per period. ( $ 6,900 interest + $ 200 Discount)

Interest Computation

Amount repaid to bondholders

20 interest payments of $ 6,900 = $ 138,000

Par value at maturity =$ 460,000

_________

Total repaid to bondholders = $ 598,000

Less:- Amount borrowed from bondholders = $ 456,000

__________

Total bond interest expenses = $ 142,000

__________

The following table shows the decrease in Discount on bonds payable account and the increase in the bonds carrying value ( Straight line method)

This is the summarization of Discount bond Straight Line amortization..

Semiannual period –end Unammortized Discount Carrying Value

(0) 1 / 30 $ 4,000 $ 456,00

(1) 6 / 30 $ 3,800 $ 456,200

(4,000 -200) ( 456,00+200)

The carrying value of the bonds after the first interest payment is $ 456,200
