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

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Dependent variables are variables which are altered by the changes to the independent factors or variables.

The following are instances of dependent and independent variables:

       

Dependent Variable (DV): Profit, Product Quality, Staff Attrition during a recession.

Profit (DV) depends on sales, expenses, the economy, the proficiency of the sales staff, the quality of the product.

The Quality of the Product (DV) depends on the production process, product design, quality of raw materials etc

So, many of the factors highlighted above, which affect the dependent variables are called Independent variable.

Profit, for instance, can be forecasted or changed IF changes are made to sales.

It is possible to measure the quality of a product or service. It can also be altered by increasing or decreasing the quality of raw material input.

Cheers!

The computation of the following financial ratios for Golden Times Ltd is as follows:

<h3>(i) Return on capital employed:</h3>

= Profit after tax/Total assets - current liabilities x 100

= 12.44% (Sh 224,000/ Sh 1,800,000) x 100

<h3>(ii) The profit margin:</h3>

= Profit after tax/Sales revenue x 100

= 5.6% (Sh 224,000/Sh 4,000,000 x 100)

<h3>(iii) The turnover of capital:</h3>

= Sales Revenue/Equity

= 2.86 x (Sh 4,000,000/Sh 1,400,000

<h3>(iv) Current ratio:</h3>

= Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= 1.09 (Sh 1,520,000/Sh 1,400,000)

<h3>(v) Liquid ratio:</h3>

= Current Assets less Stocks /Current Liabilities

= 0.37 (Sh 1,520,000 - Sh 1,000,000/Sh 1,400,000)

<h3>(vi) Number of days accounts receivable are outstanding:</h3>

= Average Accounts Receivable/Sales Revenue x 365

= (Sh. 400,000/Sh. 4,000,000 x 365

= 36.5 days

<h3>(vii) Proprietary ratio:</h3>

= Shareholders equity/Total assets x 100

= 43.75% (Sh. 1,400,000/Sh. 3,200,000)

<h3>(viii) Stock turnover ratio:</h3>

= Cost of goods sold / Average stock

= 2.11 x (Sh. 3,000,000/Sh. 1,420,000)

<h3>(ix) Dividend yield ratio:</h3>

= Dividend per share/Price per share

= 5.36% (Sh. 0.268/Sh.5 x 100)

<h3>(x) Price earnings ratio:</h3>

= Market price per share/Earnings per share

= 8.93x (Sh. 5/Sh. 0.56)
