Most popular questions from this chapter

Tones Company purchased a warehouse in a downtown district where land values are rapidly increasing. Gerald Carter, controller, and Wilma Ankara, financial vice president, are trying to allocate the cost of the purchase between the land and the building. Noting that depreciation can be taken only on the building, Carter favors placing a very high proportion of the cost on the warehouse itself, thus reducing taxable income and income taxes. Ankara, his supervisor, argues that the allocation should recognize the increasing value of the land, regardless of the depreciation potential of the warehouse. Besides, she says, net income is negatively impacted by additional depreciation and will cause the company’s stock price to go down.

Instructions

Answer the following questions.

  1. What stakeholder interests are in conflict?
  2. What ethical issues does Carter face?
  3. How should these costs be allocated?

Garcia Corporation purchased a truck by issuing an $80,000, 4-year, zero-interest-bearing note to Equinox Inc. The market rate of interest for obligations of this nature is 10%. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase of this truck.

(Capitalization of Interest) The following three situations involve the capitalization of interest

Situation I: On January 1, 2017, Oksana Baiul, Inc. signed a fixed-price contract to have Builder Associates construct a major plant facility at a cost of \(4,000,000. It was estimated that it would take 3 years to complete the project. Also on January 1, 2017, to finance the construction cost, Oksana Baiul borrowed \)4,000,000 payable in 10 annual installments of \(400,000, plus interest at the rate of 10%. During 2017, Oksana Baiul made deposit and progress payments totaling \)1,500,000 under the contract; the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures was \(800,000 for the year. The excess borrowed funds were invested in short-term securities, from which Oksana Baiul realized investment income of \)250,000.

Instructions

Special-order machine for sale to unrelated customer, produced according to customer’s specifications

9,000

Inventories routinely manufactured, produced on a repetitive basis

Situation III: Peggy Fleming, Inc. has a fiscal year ending April 30. On May 1, 2017, Peggy Fleming borrowed \)10,000,000 at 11% to finance construction of its own building. Repayments of the loan are to commence the month following completion of the building. During the year ended April 30, 2018, expenditures for the partially completed structure totaled \(7,000,000.
