ANALYSIS
Profit Margin (net profit margin):
Question: For each dollar of sales, how much profit is the
company making?
Net income
Profit margin =
x 100 = NPM%
Net sales

Partial Year Depreciation
Assume the stamping machine was purchased on October 1“, using straight-line
depreciation, depreciation expense for year 1 would be:
Change in Estimate
Determine book value before the change in estimate
Determine the remaining useful life based on the change in
estimate
Determine the new residual value based on the change in
estimate
Recalculate depreciation expense using the book value prior to
the change in estimate as the “new cost" and use the new
residual value and remaining useful life.
Depreciation expense after change in estimate =
prior to change – Residual value

Life in years
PART C: ASSET DISPOSITION

from books (Asset and Accumulated
Depreciation (XA))
- Record gain/loss from removal of asset, if any.
Practice: Landscape Company sells a mower it used in its
business. Acquisition (historical) cost was $8,000, 4 year useful
life, no residual value; mower is sold after 1.5 years of use.
