Tesla management are trying to decide whether to keep an older piece of machinery or buy a replacement. Management was presented with the following information to assist in their decision: • The old machine was purchased three years ago for $720,000 and has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $400,000. • The old machine incurs operating expenses of $60,000 per year. • The current disposal value of the old machine is $170,000; if it is kept nine more years, its remaining value would be $20,000. • The replacement machine would cost $480,000 and have a useful life of nine years. • The replacement machine has an expected salvage value of $130,000 after nine years. • The replacement machine would require $26,000 per year in operating expenses. Required Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine. Should the old machine be replaced? Keep Old Purchase New Machine Machine Total costs $ Should the old machine be replaced? 920,000 $ 584,000 Yes

Exercise 6-17A (Algo) Asset replacement-opportunity cost LO 6-5 Thornton Freight Company owns a truck that cost $36,000. Currently, the truck's book value is $27,000, and its expected remaining useful life is five years. Thornton has the opportunity to purchase for $26,000 a replacement truck that is extremely fuel efficient. Fuel cost for the old truck is expected to be $5,000 per year more than fuel cost for the new truck. The old truck is paid for but, in spite of being in good condition, can be sold for only $18,000. Required Calculate the total relevant costs. Should Thornton replace the old truck with the new fuel-efficient model, or should it continue to use the old truck until it wears out? Answer is not complete. Keep Old Total relevant costs Should Thornton replace or continue the old truck? Return to question Replace With New Replace the old truck.

Use the information in Problem A-1 to solve this problem. Assume the delivery van is expected to have a useful life of 100,000 miles (Year 1, 40,000 miles; Year 2, 30,000 miles; Year 3, 20,000 miles; Year 4, 10,000 miles). Required Prepare a schedule of depreciation using the units-of-production method. Check Figure Year 3 depreciation, 3,200 PROBLEM A-1 A delivery van was bought for 18,000. The estimated life of the van is four years. The trade-in value at the end of four years is estimated to be 2,000.
Choice Among Depreciation Methods Walnut Ridge Production Inc. purchased a new computerized video editing machine at a cost of $450,000. The System has a residual value of $64,000 and an expected life of 5 years. Required: 1. Compute depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for the first 3 years of the machines life using the (a) straight-line method and (b) double-declining-balance method. 2. Which method would produce the largest income in the first, second, and third years of the assets life? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why might the controller of Walnut Ridge Production be interested in the effect of choosing a depreciation method? Evaluate the legitimacy of these interests.
Cost Issues Deskin Company purchased a new machine to be used in its operations. The new machine was delivered by the supplier, installed by Deskin, and placed into operation. It was purchased under a long-term payment plan for which the interest charges approximated the prevailing market rates. The estimated useful life of the new machine is 10 years, and its estimated residual (salvage) value is significant. Normal maintenance was performed to keep the new machine in usable condition. Deskin also added a wing to the manufacturing building that it owns. The addition is an integral part of the building. Furthermore, Deskin made significant leasehold improvements to office space used as corporate headquarters. Required: 1. What costs should Deskin capitalize for the new machine? 2. Explain how Deskin should account for the normal maintenance performed on the new machine. 3. Explain how Deskin should account for the wing added to the manufacturing building. Where should the added wing be reported on Deskins financial statements? 4. Explain how Deskin should account for the leasehold improvements made to its office space. Where should the leasehold improvements be reported on Deskins financial statements?
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. Dunedin buys equipment frequently and wants to print a depreciation schedule for each assets life. Review the worksheet called DEPREC that follows these requirements. Since some assets acquired are depreciated by straight-line, others by units of production, and others by double-declining balance, DEPREC shows all three methods. You are to use this worksheet to prepare depreciation schedules for the new machine.
IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years. On January 1, 20-2, a stronger blade to improve performance was installed in Jackhammer A for 800 cash and the compressor was replaced in Jackhammer B for 200 cash. The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Jackhammers A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each jackhammer for 20-2 through 20-4.
Current Attempt in Progress Carla Vista Timber Corporation uses a machine that removes the bark from cut timber. The machine is unreliable and results in a significant amount of downtime and excessive labor costs. Management is considering replacing the machine with a more efficient one which will minimize downtime and excessive labor costs. Data are presented below for the two machines: Old Machine New Machine Original purchase cost $326,400 $355,200 Accumulated depreciation 220,800 Estimated life 5 years 5 years It is estimated that the new machine will produce annual cost savings of $81,600. The old machine can be sold to a scrap dealer for $8,000. Both machines will have a salvage value of zero if operated for the remainder of their useful lives. Determine whether the company should purchase the new machine. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Do not leave any field blank. Enter 0 for the amounts.) Retain…
