Place T or F in front of each of the following statements. 1. The straight-line method of depreciation is based on the assumption that depreciation expense can be regarded as a constant function of time. 2. Plant assets should be written down (below cost) when their market value has declined temporarily. 3. The accounting profession has developed specifically recommended procedures for recording appraisal increases with respect to plant assets. 4. An asset's cost minus its accumulated depreciation equals its book value. 5. The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation ignores salvage value in the computation of an asset's depreciable base. 6. When using the double-declining balance method of determining depreciation, a declining percentage is applied to a constant book value. 7. The book value of plant assets initially declines more rapidly under decreasing-charge methods than under the straight-line method. 8. Accounting depreciation is computed by…
3) Which of the following best describes a depreciation base?7) The acquisition cost of an asset relative to its fair value O The estimated market value of an asset at the end of its useful life O The historical cost of an asset less the depreciation recognized to date O The amount that should be expensed over an asset's useful life
With regards to depreciation, which of the following is not true? O Straight Line depreciation includes initial cost and salvage value in the depreciation calculation. In straight line depreciation, the depreciation life (n) is set based on the MACRS property class. MACRS Depreciation method is the only method allowed for accounting and tax purposes. In MACRS depreciation, the salvage value is assumed to be zero. In straight line depreciation, the asset is depreciated down to a book value equal to the salvage value.
1. What are the three main factors used in determining depreciation of a fixed asset? 2. What is the double-declining balance method and what are the benefits of it?
Which of the following is NOT correct? i. Initial allowance is claimable in the year the qualifying expenditure is incurred; however, it can be deferred to another year. ii. Annual allowance is not given in the year of disposal. iii. Annual allowance may be granted if a qualifying asset is temporarily out of use. iv. Capital allowance is granted instead of depreciation for all assets.
Which of the following statements about depreciation is not true? A. Depreciation does not mirror the actual loss of value over time. B. Depreciation is the allocation of the asset’s cost to expense over the expected years of use. C. If the fair value of the asset increases, depreciation is reversed to reflect the change in value. D. U.S. GAAP requires depreciation methods to be systematic and rational.
The salvage value is a component of the calculation of the double declining balance (DDB) depreciation method.True or False..
What are some of the simplifying conventions a company can use to calculate depreciation for partial years?
When the estimate of an asset's useful life is changed, * depreciation expense for past periods must be recalculated. depreciation expense for future years is not changed. depreciation expense for the current and future years is changed. None of the above
What is an impairment loss? A ) The amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the book value B ) The amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount C ) The difference between the fair value of an asset and the net realisable value of the asset D ) The amount by which the market value of an asset exceeds the net present value
IFRS requires annual reviews of long-lived assets (other than goodwill) for reversal indicators. A loss may be reversed up to the newly estimated recoverable amount, not to exceed the initial carrying amount adjusted for depreciation. This is a significant departure from GAAP, so what are the financial statement implications? Is it a good thing or bad?
