Bogle is considering a two-year project to manufacture microchips. Bogle purchases equipment for $750K. This two-year project will require additional inventory of $125K and accounts payable of $150K, which reverse at the end of the project. Bogle’s tax rate is 50%, and its cost of capital is 12%.

Bogle estimates incremental revenue of $600K in years 1 and 2, and operating expenses equal to 15% of revenues. The machine is depreciated straight-line (i.e., 50% in year 1 and 50% in year 2).

A company incurred the following costs in year 1 to fulfill a contract that is expected to take two years to complete:

• Equipment required to complete the contract: $150,000
• Salaries and wages incurred to satisfy contract requirements: $300,000
• Supplies and materials directly used: $20,000
• Allocation of supervisory salaries: $15,000
• Allocation of general administrative costs: $35,000

Other information:

The equipment was acquired for the contract, but will have other use to the company when the contract is complete. It is expected to have a ten-year useful life with no residual value. The revenue from the contract will be recorded at the end of two years, when control transfers (i.e., point in time).

How will the above costs be accounted for in year 1? Does the answer change if period of time criteria is met?

Bay City uses the purchases method to account for supplies. At the beginning of the year the City had no supplies on hand. During the year the City purchased $600,000 of supplies for use by activities accounted for in the General Fund. The City used $400,000 of those supplies during the year. Assuming that the city maintains its books and records in a manner that facilitates the preparation of its fund financial statements, at fiscal year-end the appropriate account balances related to supplies expenditures and supplies inventory would be?

At the beginning of the year, Central Connecticut bought a new digital, photographic telescope for the Copernican Observatory at a cost of $250,000. Transportation and installation costs to get the telescope delivered and functioning in the observatory amounted to $30,000. The equipment’s estimated useful life is 4 years and the salvage value is $20,000.

#1.

1. Straight-Line Method

Using the Straight Line Method, calculate the depreciation expense and book value of the telescope that would be recorded at the end of each of the 4 years of its useful life.

2. Double Declining Balance Method

Using the Double Declining Balance Method, calculate the depreciation expense and book value of the telescope that would be recorded at the end of each of the 4 years of its useful life.

3. Units of Production Method

Using the Units of Production Method, calculate the depreciation expense and book value of the telescope that would be recorded in each of the 4 years of its useful life.

The estimated photographs expected from the photographic telescope over its useful life is 40,000.

The actual number of photographs taken each year is:

Year 1             10,000 photos

Year 2             5,000 photos

Year 3             10,000 photos

Year 4             15,000 photos

#3.   Calculate the gain or loss for each of the 3 depreciation methods if the university sells the telescope at the end of the third year for $95,000.
