Tree Lovers Inc. purchased 2,500 acres of woodland in which it intends to harvest the complete forest, leaving the land barren and worthless. Tree Lovers paid $5,000,000 for the land. Tree Lovers will sell the lumber as it is harvested and it expects to deplete it over ten years (150 acres in year one, 300 acres in year two, 250 acres in year three, 150 acres in year four, and 100 acres in year five). Calculate the depletion expense for the next five years and create the journal entry for year one.
Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?
Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
Dell is considering replacing one of its material handling systems. The old system was purchased 7 years agofor $130,000 and was depreciated as MACRS-GDS 5-year property since the system is used in the manufactureof electronic components. It has an annual O&M cost of $48,000, a remaining operational life of 8 years, and anestimated salvage value of $6,000 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $175,000. It will be worth$50,000 in 8 years, and it will have annual O&M costs of only $17,000 per year due to new technology. If thenew system is purchased, the old system will be traded in for $55,000, even though the old system can be sold536 CHAPTER 11 / REPLACEMENT ANALYSISfor only $45,000 on the open market. Leasing a new system will cost $31,000 per year, payable at the beginningof the year, plus operating costs of $15,000 per year payable at year-end. If the new system is leased, theexisting material handling system will be sold for its market value of $45,000.Use an…
A wood products company has decided to purchase new logging equipment for $100,000 with a trade-in of its old equipment. The old equipment has a BV of $10,000 at the time of the trade-in. The new equipment will be kept for 10 years before being sold. Its estimated SV at the time is expected to be $5,000. Use this information to solve, Using the SL method, the depreciation on the equipment over its depreciable life period is (a) $10,500 (b) $9,500 (c) $8,000 (d) $7,000.
Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project ofreplacing a control device. This old control device has been fullydepreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, whichis more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation andshipping costs will total $16,000. The new device will be depreciatedon a straight-line basis over its 2-year economic life to an estimatedsalvage value of $0. The actual salvage value of this device at the endof 2-year period (That is, the market value of the device at the end of2-year period) is estimated to be $4,000. If the replacement project is accepted, Freida will require an initial working capital investment of$2,200 (that is, adding $2,200 initially to its net working capital).During the 1st year of operations, Freida expects its annual revenue toincrease from $72,800 to $90,000. After the 1st year, revenues fromthe replacement are expected to increase at a rate of $2,800 a year forthe remainder of the project…

On June 30, 2018, Rosetta Granite purchased a machine for $120,000. The estimated useful life of the machineis eight years and no residual value is anticipated. An important component of the machine is a specialized highspeed drill that will need to be replaced in four years. The $20,000 cost of the drill is included in the $120,000 costof the machine. Rosetta uses the straight-line depreciation method for all machinery.Required:1. Calculate depreciation for 2018 and 2019 applying the typical U.S. GAAP treatment.2. Repeat requirement 1 applying IFRS.

Brown Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an existing one. The old machine was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $3,000, and it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero salvage value over a 6-year life. The current market value of the old machine is $2,000. The new machine, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, has an estimated life of 3 years, it costs $5,000, and Brown plans to sell the machine at the end of the fifth year for $200. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. The new machine is expected to generate before-tax cash savings of $500 per year. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. if the firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, what is the NPV of the proposed project?
Wether purchased a machine on 1 July 2007 for GHS500,000. It is being depreciated on a straight line basis over its expected life of ten years. Residual value is estimated at GHS20,000.

What amount will be charged to profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2008 in respect of depreciation on this machine?
Green Grass Company purchased a tractor at a cost of $150,000 on January 1, 2013. The tractor has an estimated residual value of $30,000 and an estimated life of 8 years. At the end of two years of service, the company reevaluated the tractor’s useful life. Management extended the useful life an additional four years, but estimated that the tractor would have no residual value at the end of this time. If the company uses straight-line depreciation, what amount would be recorded as the depreciation expense each year, beginning with the third year? answer is 12,000 how do you get to this answer?
