PROBLEM 9.8A Depreciation and Disposal of Plant and Intangible Assets O LO9-2, L LO9-3, O LO9-5
During the current year, Rothchild, Inc., purchased two assets that are described as follows.
Heavy Equipment
Purchase price, $275,000.
Expected to be used for 10 years, with a residual value at the end of that time of $50,000.
Expenditures required to recondition the equipment and prepare it for use, $75,000.
Patent
Purchase price, $75,000.
Expected to be used for five years, with no value at the end of that time.
Rothchild depreciates heavy equipment by the declining-balance method at 150 percent of the straight-line rate. It amortizes intangible assets
by the straight-line method. At the end of two years, because of changes in Rothchild's core business, it sold the patent to another company
for $35,000.
Instructions
a. Compute the amount of depreciation expense on the heavy equipment for each of the first three years of the asset's life.
b. Compute the amount of amortization on the patent…

- Effect of depreciation on net income 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.

- Ex 10: Section 4.3.1. Cost model & revaluation model- skill: basic •Active Asset Inc. owns a freely transferable taxi operator's license, which it acquired on January 1, 20X1, at an initial cost of $10,000. The useful life of the license is five years (based on the date it is valid for). The entity uses the straight-line method to amortize the intangible. Such licenses are frequently traded either between existing operators or with aspiring operators. At the balance sheet date, on December 31, 20X2, due to a government-permitted increase in fixed taxi fares, the traded values of such a license was $12,000. The accumulated amortization on December 31, 20X2, amounted to $4,000. •Required Pass Journalsarrow_forwardstion 9 Which statement below is TRUE of the straight-line method of depreciation? a.
