    Exercise 11-12

    In 1993, Nash Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,040,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $59,200 at the end of that time.

    Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $510,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $20,400.

    In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

    A.) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.(Per year)

    B.) Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2004 through 2022. (Per year)

    C.) Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2021. (If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

    D.) Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)

    BUSI 320 Comprehensive Problem 2 Spring 2020 You have been asked to assess the expected financial impact of each of the following proposals to improve the profitability of credit sales made by your company. Each proposal is independent of the other. Answer all questions. Showing your work may earn you partial credit. Proposal #1 would extend trade credit to some customers that previously have been denied credit because they were considered poor risks. Sales are projected to increase by $200,000 per year if credit is extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 6% are projected to be uncollectible. Additional collection costs are projected to be 5% of incremental sales, and production and selling costs are projected to be 78% of sales. Your firm expects to pay a total of 30% of its income after expenses in taxes.

    1) Compute the incremental income after taxes that would result from these projections:

    2) Compute the incremental Return on Sales if these new credit customers are accepted: If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 5 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers

    3) Compute the additional investment in Accounts Receivable

    4) Compute the incremental Return on New Investment

    5) If your company requires a 20% Rate of Return on Investment for all proposals, do the numbers suggest that trade credit should be extended to these new customers? Explain.

    Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payments that are mailed in by check to cash. It is estimated that establishing these collection centers would reduce the average collection time by 2 days (from 5 days to 3 days).

    1) If the company currently averages $20,000 in collections per day, how many dollars will this suggested cash management system frees up?

    2) If all freed up dollars would be used to pay down debt that has an interest rate of 8%, how much money could be saved each year in interest expense?

    3) Do the numbers suggest that this new system should be implemented if its total annual cost is $5200? Explain.
