Bailand Company purchased a building for $210,000 that had an estimated residual value of $10,000 and an estimated service life of 10 years. Bailand purchased the building 4 years ago and has used straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the fifth year (before it records depreciation expense for the year), the following independent situations occur:

Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years). Prepare the journal entry on December 31 to record depreciation in the fifth year after the change in estimate. Ignore income taxes.

The debits to Work in Process—Roasting Department for Morning Brew Coffee Company for August, together with information concerning production, are as follows:

All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production.

a. Prepare a cost of production report, presenting the following computations:

Balancing the financial position of a business can be a very tricky endeavor. Financial managers have a wide variety of options available to them as it relates to the management of income and expenditures. How these twin forces are approached operationally and reflected on a business balance sheet can be influenced by a financial manager. This week we will be discussing why certain decisions are made, and the different apparent effects seen on financial statements because of these decisions. Considering this please address the following prompts in your discussion: Can these balances be viewed as “investment” decisions? Is the placement of “investments” in these accounts an ethical practice? Could it be designed to influence reporting results?

you have two assets and must calculate their values today based on their payment streams
and required returns.
asset 1 return of 9% and will produce stream of $300 starting in 1 year and continue indefinitely. Asset 2 has a return of 7% and will produce a cadh flow of 1,400 in 1 year , $ 1300 in 2 years and $850 in 3 years.

-Please review the the following case and answer the three questions .

.....................Motorola has sent G.I. Quick from the United States to an economically developing nation called Developia, to develop the market for a promising Motorola product, the new X-4 Chip. There are two other multinational companies in direct competition with Motorola for the Developian domestic chip market, namely Red Hotand Blue Lightning.

Quick in not only a fine manager but also a brilliant technologist. He has spent the better part of a year in the new host country and has made considerable progress. He knows that Motorola has a much better product to offer, and has made this persuasively clear to prospective local buyers. He is working especially hard to ensure that the top officials of a large Developian company, namely Supremo, Inc., will give a large order for X-4s to Motorola, rather than buy from Red Hot or Blue Lightning.

The fact is, though, that at present Supremo buys some products of this type from Motorola, some from Red Hot and some from Blue Lightning. The Ostensible reason for this is that Supremo wants to spread its business among three suppliers as a hedge against possible failure of supply – even though, according to rumor, it regards the X-4 as superior on all major counts. Still, G.I. persists in his dogged efforts to make Motorola Supremo’s sole supplier.

One day G.I is called in by Mal Diidh, Supremo’s vice president of purchasing. Mal tells G.I. that he is willing to cancel business with Red Hot and Blue Lightning, as he clearly sees that Motorola offers a better product. Then he adds a vague statement that G.I. has trouble interpreting, but which seems to mean that discreet, covert “friendship gifts” are a rather common business practice in Developia. Quick begins to suspect that Mal might have accepted under-the-table gifts from the two other companies. Slowly, subtly, Mal seems to indicate that if G.I. will provide a gift of about 8 percent of the sale price, Motorola will become his exclusive supplier. If Motorola refuses, however, he will keep the present Motorola contract at its existing level, but expand his business with Red Hot and Blue Lightning, who seem to “understand our Developian culture quite well.”

Please answer the following questions:

1.         What is the issue?

2.         What would you recommend that G.I. Quick do?

3.         Are there any risks to Motorola and Quick if he agreed to provide the friendship gift?

Dunlop Company purchased a machine on January 1, 2014, for $44,000,000. At the time the machine had an estimated useful life of 10 years and no residual value. On December 31, 2017, the accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense was omitted in 2015. The Board of Directors informed the accountant that the company plans to switch to straight line depreciation starting with the year 2017. The company presently uses the sum of the years’digits method. Prepare the general journals entries that should be made on December 31, 2017 to record these events. (Ignore tax effects)
