Suppose a firm buys a machine with a 4 year useful life for $280,000. The machine has a salvage value of $20,000. Do each question separately.


V. Assume the firm uses straight-line depreciation. After two years of depreciation, the firm conducts an impairment test. It concludes the net cash flows from the machine for the remaining two years will be $60,000 per year. Is the machine impaired? Record the journal entry if it is impaired. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is 4%.


VI. Assume the firm uses the units of activity depreciation method where it allocates depreciation expense proportionate to the number of hours the machine is operated. It anticipates operating the machine for 3,000; 3,200; 3,300 and 3,500 hours in the next four years, respectively. Calculate the depreciation expense and net book value for each year.


VII. A steelmaker’s assets will largely consist of tangible assets like inventories and property, plant and equipment. List a firm for which the most valuable things that the firm owns are intangible assets that are not recorded on the balance sheet. Which of the two firms (the steelmaker or the firm you selected) is likely to have the larger market to book ratio? Explain why.

The patient is a 57-year old woman with a history of hypertension and chronic stable angina. She arrives in the ED complaining of indigestion-type pain that occurs more frequently than her chest pain and takes over 20 minutes to go away. She appears mildly short of breath, with vital signs of BP 155/98, pulse rate 100, respiratory rate 24/min. What should be considered as the most likely cause of this patient’s pain? Why? What is the difference between stable and unstable angina? Why might this new pain most likely be considered unstable angina?

Required:

Explain why the internal controls are likely to be weak for the property, plant and equipment account.

Comment on whether a lower assessed level of control risk approach, or a predominantly substantive approach be more appropriate for this account.

Identify the main assertion that is likely to be at-risk for this account for this client. Explain why it is at risk.
