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?
On June 30, 2016, Rosetta Granite purchased a machine for $120,000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 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 cost of the machine. Rosetta uses the straight-line depreciation method for all machinery. Required: 1. Calculate depreciation for 2016 and 2017 applying the typical U.S. GAAP treatment. 2. Repeat requirement 1 applying IFRS.

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…
Marsh Corporation purchased a machine on July 1, 2012, for $1,250,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with an estimated salvage value of $70,000. During 2015, it became apparent that the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2019, and that the machine's salvage value is now $0. Accumulated depreciation on this machine as of December 31, 2014, was $295,000. What should be the charge for depreciation in 2015 under generally accepted accounting principles? O $177,000 O $191,000 O $205,000 O $238,750
Kenya Company acquired a machine on January 1, 2013 for P8,000,000. The machine has a 10-year useful life, a P500,000 residual value, and is to be depreciated using the straight line method. By the end of 2014, the machine was damaged by a major accident occurring in the plant. The engineers and technicians could not repair this damage and therefore the machine's performance was expected to decline in the future and unlikely to be sold at the end of the useful life. Thus, the machine has a zero residual value. On December 31,2014, a test for recoverability revealed that the expected net future undiscounted cash flows related to the continued use and eventual disposal of the machine totaled P7,000,000. The fair value on December 31, 2014 is P6,600,000 while the discounted net future cash flows amount to P6,300,000. What is the depreciation expense that should be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014? O P825,000 O P812,500 O Answer not given O P787,500 O P750,000
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?
A CNC machine was purchased 2 years ago for $16,000; now it has been depreciated by straight line depreciation using a 4-year life and zero savage value. Because of recent innovation in the machining technology the current price of the machine has been reduced to $12,000. Market value of the used old machine is $3,000. Considering the replacement analysis what should be the value of the machine, justify your findings on a report with references. This provides evidence for [CLO 2]

A construction company is considering changing its depreciation from the MACRS method to the historical SL method for a general purpose hauling truck. The cost basis of the truck is $100,000, and the expected salvage value for depreciation purposes is $8,000. The company will use the truck for eight years and will depreciate it over this period of time with the SL method.What is the difference in the amount of depreciation that would be claimed in year five (i.e., MACRS versus SL)?

(Depreciation—Replacement, Change in Estimate) Greg Maddox Company constructed a building at a cost of $2,200,000 and occupied it beginning in January 1998. It was estimated at that time that its life would be 40 years, with no salvage value.In January 2018, a new roof was installed at a cost of $300,000, and it was estimated then that the building would have a useful life of 25 years from that date. The cost of the old roof was $160,000.Instructions(a) What amount of depreciation should have been charged annually from the years 1998 to 2017? (Assume straight-line depreciation.)(b) What entry should be made in 2018 to record the replacement of the roof?(c) Prepare the entry in January 2018 to record the revision in the estimated life of the building, if necessary.(d) What amount of depreciation should be charged for the year 2018?
