Suppose you were a financial analyst trying to compare the performance of two companies. Company A uses the double-declining- balance depreciation method. Company B uses the straight-line method. You have the following information taken from the 12/31/2021 year-end financial statements for Company B: Income Statement Depreciation expense Balance Sheet Assets: Plant and equipment, at cost Less: Accumulated depreciation Net You also determine that all of the assets constituting the plant and equipment of Company B were acquired at the same time, and that all of the $260,000 represents depreciable assets. Also, all of the depreciable assets have the same useful life and residual values are zero. Required: 1. In order to compare performance with Company A, estimate what B's depreciation expense would have been for 2021 if the double- declining-balance depreciation method had been used by Company B since acquisition of the depreciable assets. 2. If Company B decided to switch depreciation…

A company comparing the use of Straight Line Depreciation (SLD) and Accelerated Depreciation (DDB) in the first year subsequent to the purchase of a capital asset would find: The Fixed Asset Turnover ratio is highest using SLD.

With direct write off, one writes off amounts from sales in the past are determined to be uncollectible. An estimate writes off estimated amounts of current sales that are expected to be uncollectible. Does that help you determine the accounting principle used for estimates? And a fixed asset question: when an asset is fully depreciated (think Kate's Cards after four years when the equipment with cost of $4,800 has accumulated depreciation of $4,800), should a company keep it on the books? Why or why not?
1. Depreciation is referring to the allocation of the depreciable amount over its estimated useful life. TRUE/FALSE 2. Recording depreciation on non-current asset affects the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss. TRUE/FALSE 3. In calculating depreciation, both non-current asset cost and useful life are based on estimates. TRUE/FALSE 4. Under reducing balance method, the depreciation rate used each year remains constant. TRUE/FALSE 5. The book value of non-current asset is calculated as cost of the assets minus accumulated depreciation. TRUE/FALSE 6. Estimated value of an asset at the end of its useful life is known as “salvage value”. TRUE/FALSE
