(Depreciation Computation鈥擜ddition, Change in Estimate) In 1990, Herman Moore Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of \(2,000,000 and first occupied it in January 1991. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of \)60,000 at the end of that time.

Early in 2001, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of \(500,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of \)20,000.

In 2019, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2050, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

Instructions

  1. Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1991 through 2000.
  2. Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2001 through 2018.
  3. Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2019.
  4. Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2019.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Depreciation

The term "depreciation" refers to the process of diminishing the book value of fixed assets over time.Shrinkage is calculated using the cost of the assets used in the company rather than the market worth of the assets.

02

(a) Computing depreciation

Computation of annual depreciation charged from 1991 through 2000

Depreciation=Costofbuilding-SalvagevalueUsefullife=$2,000,000-$60,00040=$48,500

03

(b) Computing annual depreciation 

Computation of annual depreciation charged from 2001 through 2018

Depreciation=Buildingcost-SalvagevalueEstimatedlife+Addition-SalvagevalueEstimatedlife=$2,000,000-$60,00040+$500,000-$20,00030=$48,5000+16,000=$64,500

04

(c) Explaining the journal entry 

In 2019, 28 years will have passed, and the useful life will be prolonged by another 20 years.

A change in depreciation is a change in estimate, and changes in estimates are recognized prospectively under accounting rules.

As a result, future changes in depreciation methodologies are accounted for.

As a result, no adjustment to the account balances would be necessary.

The adjustment would be made prospectively by computing a new annual depreciation.

(Depreciation Concepts) As a cost accountant for San Francisco Cannery, you have been approached by Phil Perriman, canning room supervisor, about the 2017 costs charged to his department. In particular, he is concerned about the line item 鈥渄epreciation.鈥 Perriman is very proud of the excellent condition of his canning room equipment. He has always been vigilant about keeping all equipment serviced and well oiled. He is sure that the huge charge to depreciation is a mistake; it does not at all reflect the cost of minimal wear and tear that the machines have experienced over the last year. He believes that the charge should be considerably lower.

The machines being depreciated are six automatic canning machines. All were put into use on January 1, 2017. Each cost \(625,000, having a salvage value of \)55,000 and a useful life of 12 years. San Francisco depreciates this and similar assets using double-declining-balance depreciation. Perriman has also pointed out that if you used straight-line depreciation, the charge to his department would not be so great.

Instructions

Write a memo dated January 22, 2017, to Phil Perriman to clear up his misunderstanding of the term 鈥渄epreciation.鈥 Also, calculate year-1 depreciation on all machines using both methods. Explain the theoretical justification for double-declining-balance and why, in the long run, the aggregate charge to depreciation will be the same under both methods.

In its 2014 annual report, Campbell Soup Company reports beginning-of-the-year total assets of \(8,113 million, end-of-the-year total assets of \)8,323 million, total sales of \(8,268 million, and net income of \)807 million.

(a) Compute Campbell鈥檚 asset turnover.

(b) Compute Campbell鈥檚 profit margin on sales.

(c) Compute Campbell鈥檚 return on assets using

(1) asset turnover and profit margin and

(2) net income. (Round to two decimal places.)

In what way may the use of percentage depletion violate sound accounting theory?

(Depreciation and Error Analysis) A depreciation schedule for semi-trucks of Ichiro Manufacturing Company was requested by your auditor soon after December 31, 2018, showing the additions, retirements, depreciation, and other data affecting the income of the company in the 4-year period 2015 to 2018, inclusive. The following data were ascertained.

Balance of Trucks account, Jan. 1, 2015

Truck No. 1 purchased Jan. 1, 2012, cost

\(18,000

Truck No. 2 purchased July 1, 2012, cost

22,000

Truck No. 3 purchased Jan. 1, 2014, cost

30,000

Truck No. 4 purchased July 1, 2014, cost

24,000

Balance, Jan. 1, 2015

\)94,000

The Accumulated Depreciation鈥擳rucks account previously adjusted to January 1, 2015, and entered in the ledger, had a balance on that date of \(30,200 (depreciation on the four trucks from the respective dates of purchase, based on a 5-year life, no salvage value). No charges had been made against the account before January 1, 2015.

Transactions between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, which were recorded in the ledger, are as follows.

July 1, 2015 Truck No. 3 was traded for a larger one (No. 5), the agreed purchase price of which was \)40,000. Ichiro. paid the automobile dealer \(22,000 cash on the transaction. The entry was a debit to Trucks and a credit to Cash, \)22,000. The transaction has commercial substance.

Jan. 1, 2016 Truck No. 1 was sold for \(3,500 cash; entry debited Cash and credited Trucks, \)3,500.

July 1, 2017 A new truck (No. 6) was acquired for \(42,000 cash and was charged at that amount to the Trucks account. (Assume truck No. 2 was not retired.)

July 1, 2017 Truck No. 4 was damaged in a wreck to such an extent that it was sold as junk for \)700 cash. Ichiro received \(2,500 from the insurance company. The entry made by the bookkeeper was a debit to Cash, \)3,200, and credits to Miscellaneous Income, \(700, and Trucks, \)2,500.

Entries for straight-line depreciation had been made at the close of each year as follows: 2015, \(21,000; 2016, \)22,500; 2017, \(25,050; and 2018, \)30,400.

Instructions

  1. For each of the 4 years, compute separately the increase or decrease in net income arising from the company鈥檚 errors in determining or entering depreciation or in recording transactions affecting trucks, ignoring income tax considerations.
  2. Prepare one compound journal entry as of December 31, 2018, for adjustment of the Trucks account to reflect the correct balances as revealed by your schedule, assuming that the books have not been closed for 2018.
