Solar Innovations Corporation bought a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $42,000. The estimated useful life was five years and the residual value was $5,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine is 20,000 units. Expected annual production was year 1, 4,500 units; year 2, 5,500 units; year 3, 4,500 units; year 4, 4,500 units; and year 5, 1,000 units.
Required: Complete a depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods.
a. Straight-line.
b. Units-of-production.
c. Double-declining-balance.
Which method will result in the highest net income in year 2

Answer:

Depreciation schedule for :

                  Straight-line    Units-of-production    Double-declining-balance

Year 1              $ 7,400                  $8,325                            $16,800

Year 2             $ 7,400                  $10,175                            $10,080

Year 3             $ 7,400                  $8,325                              $6,048

Year 4             $ 7,400                  $8,325                              $3,629

Year 5             $ 7,400                  $1,850                                $2,177

Straight Line Method will result in the highest Net Income. This is because it provides for the lowest charge of depreciation expense

Explanation:

Straight-line

Straight line method charges the same amount of depreciation (fixed  on cost) over the useful life of an asset.

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life

                                   = ($42,000 - $5,000) ÷ 5

                                   = $ 7,400

Annual Straight line Depreciation Charge

Year 1  = $ 7,400

Year 2 = $ 7,400

Year 3 = $ 7,400

Year 4 = $ 7,400

Year 5 = $ 7,400

Units of Production

Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) / Total Expected Production × Period`s Production

Therefore,

Depreciation Charge = Rate of depreciation × Period`s Production

then,

Rate of depreciation = ($42,000 - $5,000) / 20,000 units

                                   = $1.85 per unit of production

Annual Units of Production Deprecation Charge

Year 1  = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325

Year 2 = 5,500 units × $1.85 = $10,175

Year 3 = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325

Year 4 = 4,500 units × $1.85 = $8,325

Year 5 = 1,000 units × $1.85 = $1,850

Double-declining-balance.

Depreciation Expense = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP

Where,

SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of useful life

         = 100 ÷ 5

         =  20 %

Annual Double-declining-balance Expense

Year 1 = 2 × 20% × $42,000

          = $16,800

Year 2 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800)

           = $10,080

Year 3 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080)

           = $6,048

Year 4 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080 - $6,048)

           = $3,629

Year 5 = 2 × 20% × ($42,000 - $16,800 - $10,080 - $6,048- $3,629)

           = $2,177

Blago Wholesale Company began operations on January 1, 20X1, and uses the average cost method in costing its inventory. Management is contemplating a change to the FIFO method in 20X2 and is interested in determining how such a change will affect net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed:
20X1 20X2
Final inventory:

For 2014, Taxpayer (TP) wants to recognize a deduction. The deduction involves a statute that has not changed since enacted in 1920. TP is relying on a case called JONES, which is a case decided by the United States Tax Court in 1965 which held in favor of the taxpayer. The JONES case was decided by a United States Tax Court that lies in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the time the JONES case was decided, its holding was contrary to precedent set by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Which of the following is correct:a. None of the other choices are correct.b. The Golsen rule is inapplicable here and is of no concern for TP.c. The Golsen rule applies here and weakens the legal justification for the deduction.d. The Golsen rule applies here and strengthens the legal justification for the deduction.

Chelene had been a caregiver for Marta’s elderly mother, Janis, for nine years. Shortly before Janis passed away, Chelene convinced her to buy Chelene’s house for Marta. Janis died before the papers were signed, however. Four months later, Marta used her inheritance to buy Chelene’s house without having it inspected. The house was built in the 1950s, and Chelene said it was in "perfect condition." Nevertheless, one year after the purchase, the basement started leaking. Marta had the paneling removed from the basement walls and discovered that the walls were bowed inward and cracked. Marta then had a civil engineer inspect the basement walls, and he found that the cracks had been caulked and painted over before the paneling was installed. He concluded that the "wall failure" had existed "for at least thirty years" and that the basement walls were "structurally unsound." Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.
1. Can Marta avoid the contract on the ground that both parties made a mistake about the condition of the house? Explain. 2. Can Marta sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation? Why or why not? What element (or elements) might be lacking?. 3. Now assume that Chelene knew that the basement walls were cracked and bowed and that she hired someone to install paneling before offering to sell the house. Did she have a duty to disclose this defect to Marta? Could a court find that Chelene's silence in this situation constituted misrepresentation? Explain.

7. Who is an innocent infringer? A person who Select (is/ is not) aware and had no reason to believe that his or her acts constituted copyright infringement.

Why is it difficult for products to "cross the chasm"? Because the product does not appeal to visionaries. Because the product has a brand name that does not translate well to other countries. Because the product's positioning strategy is not consistent with prior product releases. Because the product's value proposition may attract visionaries but may never get acceptance in the mass market.

The maintenance director has grown to value your insights and thoughtful questions when preparing bid packets to support her team's best work. As it turns out, her predecessor verbally modified the LED lights' model ordered by your employer when the original, awarded bid reponse included the model number for LEDs noted by the maintenance staff--that were not compatible with the fixtures of the company buildings/structures. When the maintenance director asks your opinion about her plan to amend the existing contract with the LED supplier to the model numbers actually used, as opposed to the ones listed in the contract that are not compliant with the existing features. That's what they have been doing so you should probably amend the contract as the director suggests, and you will save more time (no rebidding) and money (no additional modifications to the facility) than rebidding.
