Johnson Limited is contemplating the installation of a new system that would allow for automated handling of customer inquiries about
their order status, account balances, etc. Currently all such inquiries are handled manually by customer service representatives. The
software for the new system would cost $214,000. An additional $169,000 would be required for one-time installation costs.
Management estimates that the new system would result in costs of $10,300 per year related to addressing software issues and other
technological problems that may arise. However, the new system is expected to reduce labour costs by $65,000 per year.
Management estimates that the system would be used for five years. Severance costs related to the employees that would be laid off
after implementing the new system would be $22,600. Johnson Limited requires a return of at least 15% on investments of this type.
Required:
Ignore income taxes.
1. Compute the net annual cost savings promised by the new system.…

Prepare end of year adjusting entries, corrections, and any other necessary entries necessary to prepare accurate financial statements for 2021.arrow_forwardWhen a company has post-acquisition expenditures related to Property, Plant, and Equipment it must determine whether the amount should be expensed as an ordinary repair or capitalized as a major repair, addition, or betterment. This requires considering the nature of the expenditure and the use of judgment. Many companies use a threshold amount. Any expenditure below the threshold is expensed. Items over the threshold are examined and a decision is made about whether to expense or capitalize the item. This approach is justified by both materiality and considering costs and benefits. For example, a company with $94 million in net property, plant, and equipment and $250 million of operating expenses would not consider a $100 repair as material. Plus, if the company had to spend thousands of dollars examining every repair expenditure, the costs of doing the analysis could easily outweigh the benefits.
