Marv and Patty are estimating depreciation on some company assets. Marv estimates the depreciation on a company delivery truck to be $2,000. Patty estimates the depreciation of their new machine to be $3,100. After some time, they both recognize the depreciation of a new piece of land to be $2,500. What is wrong with these calculations? The machine calculation is likely correct, but the truck and land calculations are probably incorrect as they should not be so close in value. O The truck and land calculations are likely correct, but the machine depreciation should not be higher than the other two. O The truck and machine calculations are likely fine, but the plot of land calculation is incorrect as depreciation does not apply to land. O The land and truck calculations are likely fine, but the machine calculation is incorrect as depreciation does not apply to machines.

Last year, Jose and Josefina Munoz bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-5 policy) for $225,000. The policy reimburses actual cash value and has a $500 deductible, standard limits for coverage C items, and no scheduled property. Recently, burglars broke into the house and stole a new computer with a current replacement value of $1,500 and an estimated useful life of three years. They also took jewelry valued at $2,500 and a coin collection valued at $1,500. If the Munozs’ policy has a 90 percent co-insurance clause, do they have enough insurance? Assuming a 50 percent coverage C limit, calculate how much the Munoz family would receive if they filed a claim for the stolen items. What advice would you give the Munoz family about their homeowner’s coverage?
Blossom Inc. recently replaced a piece of automatic equipment at a net price of $3,500, f.o.b. factory. The replacement was necessary because one of Blossom’s employees had accidentally backed his truck into Blossom’s original equipment and made it inoperable. Because of the accident, the equipment had no resale value to anyone and had to be scrapped. Blossom’s insurance policy provided for a replacement of its equipment and paid the price of the new equipment directly to the new equipment manufacturer, minus the deductible amount paid to the manufacturer by Blossom. The $3,500 that Blossom paid was the amount of the deductible that it has to pay on any single claim on its insurance policy. The new equipment represents the same value in use to Blossom. The used equipment had originally cost $64,000. It had a book value of $45,000 at the time of the accident and a second-hand market value of $50,000 before the accident, based on recent transactions involving similar equipment. Freight…

Sharkey’s Fun Center contains a number of electronic games as well as a miniature golf course and various rides located outside the building. Paul Sharkey, the owner, would like to construct a water slide on one portion of his property. Mr. Sharkey gathered the following information about the slide: Water slide equipment could be purchased and installed at a cost of $345,000. According to the manufacturer, the slide would be usable for 12 years after which it would have no salvage value. Mr. Sharkey would use straight-line depreciation on the slide equipment. To make room for the water slide, several rides would be dismantled and sold. These rides are fully depreciated, but they could be sold for $117,500 to an amusement park in a nearby city. Mr. Sharkey concluded that about 50,000 more people would use the water slide each year than have been using the rides. The admission price would be $3.80 per person (the same price the Fun Center has been charging for the old rides). Based on…
