At 30 June 2015, the financial statements of McMaster Ltd showed a building with a cost (net of GST) of $312,000 and accumulated depreciation of $158,000. The business uses the straight-line method to depreciate the building. When acquired, the building's useful life was estimated at 30 years and its residual value at $62,000. On 1 January 2016, McMaster Ltd made structural improvements to the building costing $98,000 (net of GST). Although the capacity of the building was unchanged, it is estimated that the improvements will extend the useful life of the building to 40 years, rather than the 30 years originally estimated. No change is expected in the residual value.

  1. Calculate the number of years the building had been depreciated to 30 June 2015
  2. Prepare the general journal entry to record the cost of the structural improvements on 1 January 2016
  3. Prepare the general journal entry to record the building’s depreciation expense for the year ended 30 June 2016. Assume no depreciation had been recorded since 30 June 2018.

Mastery Problem: Budgeting

LearnCo

LearnCo manufactures and sells one product, an abacus for classroom use, with two models, the Basic model and the Deluxe model. The company began operations on January 1, 20Y1, and is planning for 20Y2, its second year of operations, by preparing budgets from its master budget.

The company is trying to decide how many units to manufacture, how much it might spend on direct materials and direct labor, and what their factory overhead expenses might be. In addition, the company is interested in budgeting for selling and administrative costs, and in creating a budgeted income statement showing a prediction of net income for 20Y2.

You have been asked to assist the controller of LearnCo in preparing the 20Y2 budgets.

Sales Budget

The sales budget often uses the prior year’s sales as a starting point, and then sales quantities are revised for various factors such as planned advertising and promotion, projected pricing changes, and expected industry and general economic conditions. LearnCo has completed reviewing its prior year’s sales and has prepared the following sales budget.

After reviewing LearnCo’s sales budget, you note that three numbers have been omitted. The company’s controller has told you that the units sold for the Basic and Deluxe models are expected to be the same. Fill in the missing amounts.

Production Budget

The production budget should be integrated with the sales budget to ensure that production and sales are kept in balance during the year. The production budget estimates the number of units to be manufactured to meet budgeted sales and desired inventory levels.

You note that LearnCo has omitted six numbers from the following production budget and fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the sales budget you prepared.

Direct Materials Purchases Budget

The direct materials purchases budget should be integrated with the production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted during the year.

Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information on the following Direct Materials Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget. After scanning the direct materials purchases budget (which follows the Direct Materials Data Table), you observe that LearnCo has omitted quite a few numbers from the budget. Fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the Direct Materials Data Table, or from the sales budget and production budget you prepared. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Factory Overhead Cost Budget

The factory overhead cost budget should be integrated with the production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted during the year. This budget may be supported by departmental schedules, which normally separate factory overhead costs into fixed and variable costs so that department managers may monitor and evaluate costs during the year. For simplicity, LearnCo has not separated costs in this manner.

After reviewing the following factory overhead cost budget, you note that LearnCo has completed the budget with the exception of one amount. Fill in the missing amount.
