On January 1, 2012, Vallahara Company purchased machinery for $650,000, which it installed in a rented factory. It is depreciating the machinery over 12 years by the straight-line method to a residual value of $50,000. Late in 2016, because of increasing competition in the industry, the company believes that its asset may be impaired and will have a remaining useful life of 5 years, over which it estimates the asset will produce total cash inflows of $1,000,000 and will incur total cash outflows of $825,000. The cash flows are independent of the company’s other activities and will occur evenly each year. Vallahara is not able to determine the fair value based on a current selling price of the machinery. Vallahara’s discount rate is 10%. Required: 1. Prepare schedules to determine whether, at the end of 2016, the machinery is impaired and, if so, the impairment loss to be recognized. 2. If the machinery is impaired, prepare the journal entry to record the impairment. 3. If Vallahara uses IFRS and determines that the fair value of the machinery is $200,000 and that it would cost $10,000 to sell the machine, how much would the company recognize as the impairment loss? 4. Assuming that the recoverable amount of the machinery is determined to be $220,000 at the end of 2017, what entry will Vallahara make to record this increase in value under U.S. GAAP? Under IFRS?

Blue Water Sails, Inc. (BWS) manufactures sailcloth used by sailmakers that produce sails for sailboats. BWS’s sailcloth is the conventional polyester-based sail material and is used widely in recreational boating. Sailmakers throughout the world use BWS’s sailcloth.

The Shirt Works sell a large variety of tee shirts and sweat shirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students , on a commission sales basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school.

These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $8 each with a minimum order of 75 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 75.

Since Hooper's plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the cost of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $13.50 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $1.50 for each t shirt sold.

Required:

1: What level of unit sales and dollar sales is needed to attain a target profit of $1,200?

2: Assume Hooper places an initial order of 75 sweatshirts. What is his break even point in unit sales and dollar sales?

Which of the following is considered to be an advantage of using both nonfinancial and financial information in the balanced scorecard?

Nonfinancial information is most helpful in analyzing a company's past performance, while financial information is most useful in evaluating potential future performance.

Nonfinancial information provides the short-term perspective while financial information provides the long-term perspective of performance.

Nonfinancial information reflects the company's current and potential competitive advantage, while financial information tends to focus on a firm's achieved financial performance.

Nonfinancial information should be included with financial information because it is more reliable than financial information.
