You are auditing the financial records of a company and are reviewing the depreciation computations. Included in the assets are two buildings and numerous machines in each building. One of the buildings is used to manufacture components of toys and the other for assembly and packing, using the manufactured components as well as others purchased from suppliers. You see that the company uses straight-line depreciation over 40 years for the buildings and 20 years for the machinery. You decide to ask the CFO about these calculations, and he replies, “We use 40 years for the buildings because it is close to the 39 we use for tax. And our best guess is that we will replace the machines twice while we use the building. And the method is easy to use and most companies use it, don’t they? Or have things changed that much since I was in college?” You feel as if you have annoyed the CFO with your questions, so you decide to leave.

- Choosing Appropriate Depreciation Method You are part of a team reviewing the financial statements of a new computer company. Looking over the fixed assets accounts, one long-term tangible asset sticks out. It is labeled “USB” and valued at $10,000. You ask the company’s accountant for more detail, and he explains that the asset is a USB drive that holds the original coding for a game the company developed during the year. The company expects the game to be fairly popular for the next few years, and then sales are expected to trail off. Because of this, they are planning on depreciating this asset over the next five years using the double-declining method. Does this recording seem appropriate, or is there a better way to categorize the asset? How should this asset be expensed over time?arrow_forwardDetermining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives On January 3, 2018, Speedy Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $67,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedy spent $3,000 painting it, $1,200 replacing tires, and $3,500 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $5,100. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 20,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,800 miles in the fifth year—92,800 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Alec Rivera, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).

- Based on the information bellow can someone please help finish the problem in this study guide In recent years, Splish Brothers Company has purchased three machines.
