How to obtain the accumulated depreciate - Training equipment = $34,100?

How to balance the adjusted trail balance?

On 1 October, Hercules Ho sold a treadmill that costs $5,000, with accumulated depreciation of $2,000 as at 31 Dec 2017 for cash of $3,000. Hercules Ho deposited the cash into his personal bank account. Hercules Ho forgot to inform his accountant of this transaction. According to him, the cash taken by him was to be treated as a loan to him.
Both the cost of the treadmill and the accumulated depreciation were included in the amount shown for training equipment at cost and the accumulated depreciation for training equipment in the unadjusted trial balance above. The residual value of the treadmill was originally estimated to be $500.

No depreciation has been charged for the year ended 31 Dec 2018. During the year, no additional non-current assets was purchased. The company depreciates non-current assets held at 31 Dec 2018 as follows:
 Training equipment at cost - straight line over five years. The residual value of the training equipment at cost was estimated to be $15,000.

Computation of deferred taxes under IFRS is slightly different from GAAP. For example, in the United...

Computation of deferred taxes under IFRS is slightly different from GAAP. For example, in the United Kingdom (which follows IFRS), companies use the crystallization approach. An equivalent concept in the United States is “realization.”

The concept underlying this “crystallization” approach is that companies recognize deferred income taxes only if the taxes are expected to crystallize. Therefore, if a liability is deferred indefinitely, then the present value of that liability is zero. No deferred tax liability is recognized if the accumulated deferred tax amount is expected to increase each year, thereby delaying indefinitely the ultimate liquidation of this obligation.

  1. Compare and contrast the theory behind the “crystallization” approach with the inter-period allocation approach used in the U.S.
  2. How might this same concept be applied to the recognition of liability for accounts payable? That is, if accounts payable are expected to increase each year, should the crystallization concept apply to this liability? Why or why not?
  3. How reasonable does this approach seem? Explain.

Alpha-Tech, a rapidly growing distributor of electronic components, is formulating its plans for 20x5. Carol Jones, the firm’s marketing director, has completed the following sales forecast.

ALPHA-TECH
20x5 Forecasted Sales
(in thousands)
Month Sales
January $ 6,500
February 7,500
March 6,500
April 9,000
May 10,000
June 11,500
July 12,500
August 12,500
September 13,500
October 13,500
November 12,500
December 14,500


Phillip Smith, an accountant in the Planning and Budgeting Department, is responsible for preparing the cash flow projection. The following information will be used in preparing the cash flow projection.

  • Alpha-Tech’s excellent record in accounts receivable collection is expected to continue. Seventy percent of billings are collected the month after the sale, and the remaining 30 percent two months after.
  • The purchase of electronic components is Alpha-Tech’s largest expenditure, and each month’s cost of goods sold is estimated to be 30 percent of sales. Seventy percent of the parts are received by Alpha-Tech one month prior to sale, and 30 percent are received during the month of sale.
  • Historically, 70 percent of accounts payable has been paid one month after receipt of the purchased components, and the remaining 30 percent has been paid two months after receipt.
  • Hourly wages and fringe benefits, estimated to be 30 percent of the current month’s sales, are paid in the month incurred.
  • General and administrative expenses are projected to be $15,670,000 for the year. The breakdown of these expenses is presented in the following schedule. All cash expenditures are paid uniformly throughout the year, except the property taxes, which are paid in four equal installments at the end of each quarter.
    20x5 Forecasted General and Administrative Costs
    (in thousands)
    Salaries and fringe benefits $ 3,000
    Promotion 3,500
    Property taxes 1,330
    Insurance 2,830
    Utilities 1,500
    Depreciation 3,510
    Total $ 15,670
  • Income-tax payments are made at the beginning of each calendar quarter based on the income of the prior quarter. Alpha-Tech is subject to an income-tax rate of 40 percent. Alpha-Tech’s operating income for the first quarter of 20x5 is projected to be $3,000,000. The company pays 100 percent of the estimated tax payment.
  • Alpha-Tech maintains a minimum cash balance of $510,000. If the cash balance is less than $510,000 at the end of each month, the company borrows amounts necessary to maintain this balance. All amounts borrowed are repaid out of the subsequent positive cash flow. The projected April 1, 20x5, opening balance is $510,000.
  • Alpha-Tech has no short-term debt as of April 1, 20x5.
  • Alpha-Tech uses a calendar year for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

Required:

  1. Prepare a cash budget for Alpha-Tech by month for the second quarter of 20x5. For simplicity, ignore any interest expense associated with borrowing. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
