ACC 205 Week 3 Exercise 7 Depreciation Computations

1. Specific identification method. Boston Galleries uses the specific identification method for inventory valuation. Inventory information for several oil paintings follows.                          Painting   Cost         1/2 Beginning inventory Woods   $21,000          4/19 Purchase Sunset   21,800         6/7 Purchase Earth   31,200         12/16 Purchase Moon   4,000            $78,000   25,000                   Woods and Moon were sold during the year for a total of $35,000. Determine the firm’s             a. cost of goods sold.             b. gross profit.             c. ending inventory.             2. Inventory valuation methods: basic computations. The January beginning inven­tory of the Gilette Company consisted of 300 units costing $40 each. During the first quarter, the company purchased two batches of goods: 700 Units at $44 on February 21 and 800 units at $50 on March 28. Sales during the first quarter were 1,400 units at $75 per unit. The White Company uses a periodic inventory system. Using the White Company data, fill in the following chart to compare the results obtained under the FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average inventory methods.

3. Perpetual inventory system: journal entries. At the beginning of 20X3, Beehler Company implemented a computerized perpetual inventory system. The first transactions that occurred during 20X3 follow:                        ·         1/2/20X3 Purchases on account: 500 units @$6 =  $3,000             ·         1/15/20X3 Sales on account: 300 units @ $8.50 = $2,550             ·         1/20/20X3 Purchases on Account: 200 units @ 5 = $1,000            ·         1/25/20X3 Sales on Account: 300 units @ $8.50 = $2,550           The company president examined the computer-generated journal entries for these transactions and was confused by the absence of a Purchases account.            a. Duplicate the journal entries that would have appearedon the computer printout under FIFO & LIFO            b. Calculate the balance in the firm’s Inventory account under each method.             c. Briefly explain the absence of the Purchases account to the company president.       

4. Inventory valuation methods: computations and concepts.                              Wild Riders Surfboard Company began business on January 1 of the current year. Purchases of surfboards were as follows:                              Date   Quantity  Unit Cost  Total Cost         3-Jan  100  $125   $12,500          3-Apr  200  $135   $27,000          3-Jun  100  $145   $14,500          3-Jul  100  $155   $15,500          Total  500    $69,500                                        Wild Riders sold 400 boards at $250 per board on the dates listed below.  The company uses a perpetual inventory system.                              Date   Quantity Sold  Unit Price  Total Sales         17-Mar  50  $250   $12,500          17-May  75  $250   $18,750          10-Aug  275  $250   $68,750          Total  400    $100,000          Instructions               a.       Calculate cost of goods sold, ending inventory, and gross profit under each of the following inventory valuation methods:               ·         First-in, first-out               ·         Last-in, first-out               ·         Weighted average                              b. Which of the three methods would be chosen if management’s goal is to               (1) produce an up-to-date inventory valuation on the balance sheet?                (2) show the lowest net income for tax purposes?               5. Depreciation methods. Mike Davis Enterprises purchased a delivery van for $40,000 in January 20X7. The van was estimated to have a service life of 5 years and a resid­ual value of $6,000. The company is planning to drive the van 20,000 miles annually. Compute depreciation expense for 20X8 by using each of the following methods:a. Units-of-output, assuming 17,000 miles were driven during 20X8 b. Straight-line c. Double-declining-balance 

6. Depreciation computations. Alpha Alpha Alpha, a college fraternity, purchased a new heavy-duty washing machine on January 1, 20X3. The machine, which cost $2,000, had an estimated residual value of $100 and an estimated service life of 4 years (1,800 washing cycles). Calculate the following:a. The machine’s book value on December 31, 20X5, assuming use of the straight-line depreciation method b. Depreciation expense for 20X4, assuming use of the units-of-output depreciation method. Actual washing cycles in 20X4 totaled 500. c. Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 20X5, assuming use of the double-declining-balance depreciation method. 

7. Depreciation computations: change in estimate. Aussie Imports purchased a specialized piece of machinery for $50,000 on January 1, 20X3. At the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a service life of 5 years (25,000 operating hours) and a residual value of $5,000. During the 5 years of operations (20X3 – 20X7), the machine was used for 5,100, 4,800, 3,200, 6,000, and 5,900 hours, respectively.

Instructions             a. Compute depreciation for 20X3 – 20X7 by using the following methods: straight line, units of output, and double-declining-balance.            b. On January 1, 20X5, management shortened the remaining service life of the machine to 15 months. Assuming use of the straight-line method, compute the company’s depreciation expense for 20X5.               c. Briefly describe what you would have done differently in part (a) if Aussie Imports had paid $47,800 for the machinery rather than $50,000 In addition, assume that the company incurred $800 of freight charges $1,400 for machine setup and testing, and $300 for insurance during the first year of use.
