  1. Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the following methods: (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
    1. Straight-line method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    3. Double-declining-balance method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    4. Activity method
      2019 $
      2020 $
  2. For each method, what is the book value of the machine at the end of 2019? At the end of 2020? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
    1. Straight-line method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    3. Double-declining-balance method
      2019 $
      2020 $
    4. Activity method
      2019 $
      2020 $
  3. Next Level The book value of the asset in the early years of the asset's service will be lower  under an accelerated method as compared to the straight-line method. The sum-of-the-years-digits  method is appropriate when the service life of the asset is affected primarily by the amount the asset is used.

The fixtures being used in the North Store would be transferred to the other two stores if the North Store were closed.

d.

The general manager of the North Store would be retained and transferred to another position in the company if the North Store were closed. She would be filling a position that would otherwise be filled by hiring a new employee at a salary of $10,400 per quarter. The general manager of the North Store would be retained at her normal salary of $11,400 per quarter. All other employees in the store would be discharged.

e.

The company has one delivery crew that serves all three stores. One delivery person could be discharged if the North Store were closed. This person’s salary is $4,300 per quarter. The delivery equipment would be distributed to the other stores. The equipment does not wear out through use, but does eventually become obsolete.

f. The company’s employment taxes are 15% of salaries.
g. One-third of the insurance in the North Store is on the store’s fixtures.
h.

The “General office salaries” and “General office—other” relate to the overall management of Superior Markets, Inc. If the North Store were closed, one person in the general office could be discharged because of the decrease in overall workload. This person’s compensation is $5,700 per quarter.


Required:
1.

Prepare a schedule showing the change in revenues and expenses and the impact on the company’s overall net operating income that would result if the North Store were closed. (Any losses/ reductions should be indicated by a minus sign.)

      

2.

Based on your computations in (1) above, what recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?

The North Store should be closed.
The North Store should not be closed.


3.

Assume that if the North Store were closed, at least one-fourth of its sales would transfer to the East Store, due to strong customer loyalty to Superior Markets. The East Store has enough capacity to handle the increased sales. You may assume that the increased sales in the East Store would yield the same gross margin as a percentage of sales as present sales in that store.


a.

Calculate the net advantage of closing the North Store. (Any reductions or outflows should be indicated by a minus sign.)

          

b. What recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.?
The North Store should be closed.
The North Store should not be closed

The supplementary information below is also provided.

1. On May 1, 2020, the corporation issued at 87.40, $780,000 of bonds to finance plant expansion. The long-term bond agreement provided for the annual payment of interest every May 1. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Use the straight-line method for discount amortization.
2. The bookkeeper made the following mistakes.
a. In 2018, the ending inventory was overstated by $181,000. The ending inventories for 2019 and 2020 were correctly computed.
b. In 2020, accrued wages in the amount of $224,000 were omitted from the balance sheet, and these expenses were not charged on the income statement.
c. In 2020, a gain of $176,000 (net of tax) on the sale of certain plant assets was credited directly to retained earnings.
3. A major competitor has introduced a line of products that will compete directly with Headland’s primary line, now being produced in a specially designed new plant. Because of manufacturing innovations, the competitor’s line will be of comparable quality but priced 50% below Headland’s line. The competitor announced its new line on January 14, 2021. Headland indicates that the company will meet the lower prices that are high enough to cover variable manufacturing and selling expenses, but permit recovery of only a portion of fixed costs.
4. You learned on January 28, 2021, prior to completion of the audit, of heavy damage because of a recent fire to one of Headland’s two plants; the loss will not be reimbursed by insurance. The newspapers described the event in detail.


Analyze the above information to prepare a corrected balance sheet for Headland in accordance with proper accounting and reporting principles. Prepare a description of any notes that might need to be prepared. The books are closed and adjustments to income are to be made through retained earnings.
