ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS - CHAPTER 9

1. Long-term operational assets are those assets that are


used by a business to generate revenue. In contrast,
investments are simply held for the production of
interest and dividends and/or for price appreciation.

2. Tangible assets are those assets that have a physical


existence. Some examples include buildings and
equipment. Intangible assets are those assets that
represent some rights and privileges associated with
owning the asset. Some examples include copyrights,
leases, and trademarks.

3. Specifically identifiable intangible assets are those


assets that are purchased for a specific value or have a
known value. Examples include patents, leases, and
copyrights. Intangible assets that are not specifically
identifiable are those purchased as part of the
purchase of a whole business or group of assets. The
value of these assets are determined by the excess of
the purchase price of the group over the value of the
specifically identifiable assets. The most common
assets in this group include goodwill and covenants
not to compete.

4. Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of


property, plant and equipment to the accounting
periods over which they are to be used. Some
examples of assets that are depreciated include
buildings, machinery, and office equipment.

5. Natural resources are assets that are produced by


nature. Some examples include oil, coal, minerals,
timber, etc. They are called wasting assets because
their value "wastes away" as the resources are
removed from the earth.

9-1
6. Land is not a depreciable asset because land has an
infinite life. Land is not destroyed by its use. Natural
resources can be removed but the land will remain.
When land and natural resources are purchased together,
the cost of each must be accounted for separately.
7. Amortization is the systematic allocation of the cost of
intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

8. The historical cost concept requires that long-term


operational assets be recorded at the amount paid for
them. This is the amount that will be shown on the
balance sheet as long as the asset is owned. As time
passes the asset may increase or decline in value, but
this change is not reflected on the books of the
company. However, the historical cost of assets may
be reduced by depreciation over their lives.

9. The cost of a building includes the amount paid for the


building plus any amounts that are paid to put it to its
intended use. Some common costs include the
purchase price, title search fee, legal fees, sales
commissions, remodeling, and improvements.

10. A basket purchase of assets is the purchase of a group


of assets for a single purchase price. For example,
building, land and equipment could be purchased for
one price, $80,000. When a group of assets are
purchased together, the purchase price must be
allocated among the different assets. One of the more
common methods of making the allocation is the
relative fair market value method. The fair market
value of each asset is determined and then its ratio to
the total fair market value of all assets is applied to
the total purchase price.

11. The life cycle of a long-term operational asset simply


describes the process of acquiring, using, and retiring
the asset. This process includes obtaining the funding

9-2
to acquire the asset, acquiring the asset, using the
asset, and disposing of the asset.

12. Straight-line depreciation. This method allocates an


equal amount of depreciation to each period over the
useful life of the asset. Example: Asset cost of $4,000
with a 4-year life and no salvage value would produce
a depreciation expense of $1,000 per year. This
method is appropriate when the usefulness of an asset
is consistent over the asset's life.

Units-of-production depreciation. When this method of


depreciation is used, depreciation is calculated for
each estimated unit of use, e.g. cost per mile. This
estimated unit cost is then applied to the actual use of
the asset for the period. Example: Asset cost of
$4,000 with estimated use of 20,000 miles would
produce a cost per mile of .20. If the asset was used
4,000 miles in the year, the depreciation would be
$800 (.20 X 4,000). This method is more appropriate
when the usefulness of an asset is related to the
amount of use.

Double-declining balance depreciation. This is an


accelerated depreciation method that allocates more
of the cost of an asset to expense in the early years of
the asset's life. It is called double-declining balance
because the method applies twice the straight-line
rate to the book value of the asset.

Example: Asset cost of $4,000 with an estimated


useful life of 4 years would produce an expense of
$2,000 in the first year [$4,000 X (2 X .25)]. The
amount of depreciation expense will decrease each
year of the asset's life. This method is appropriate
when the usefulness of an asset decreases more in the
early years of life than it does in the later years of the
asset's life.

9-3
13. Recognition of depreciation expense reduces total
assets; while the asset account containing the asset
that is being depreciated is not changed, the contra
asset account, accumulated depreciation, is increased
which, in turn, reduces total assets. Total equity is
decreased when an expense is recognized.

14. The recognition of depreciation expense does not


affect cash flows. Depreciation recognition is simply
the allocation of part of a previously acquired asset to
expense. Cash is affected when the asset is
purchased, an improvement is made to the asset and
when it is sold.

15. Total assets will be lower at the end of the first year of
the asset’s life if MalMax chooses the double-declining
balance method of computing depreciation rather than
straight-line. This results because more expense is
recognized in the early years of an asset’s life when
double declining balance is used. However, at the end
of the asset’s life, total assets will be the same
regardless of the method chosen because the amount
of total depreciation recognized over the asset’s life is
the same regardless of the depreciation method
chosen.

16. When the total cost of an asset is expensed in the year


acquired, total expense will be overstated and net
income will be understated. Because all of a plant
asset's cost is erroneously expensed, assets will be
understated and retained earnings will be understated
because net income was understated.

17. Salvage value is the estimated value of a plant asset at


the end of its useful life to the business.

18. Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account.


As the cost of a plant asset is expensed, a contra asset
account is credited, rather than a direct reduction of

9-4
the related asset account. This method is used
because the expired cost is an estimate, not an exact
amount. In addition, this method provides more
information to financial information users, in that the
original cost is shown in the asset account and the
estimated expired cost is shown as accumulated
depreciation.

19. Recording the depreciation recognized in the contra


asset account allows the total cost of the asset and the
total amount expensed to be shown in the accounts
and on the balance sheet. This provides more
information to the reader of the financial statements,
e.g., some judgment can be made about the age and
use of the asset.

20. Book value is computed as the cost of an asset less the


accumulated depreciation of that equipment, $5,000 −
$3,000 = $2,000. This does not represent the fair
market value of the equipment because the
accumulated depreciation is only an estimate of the
expired cost. In addition, the value of the equipment
may not be related to its original cost.

21. The method of depreciation chosen should represent


as closely as possible the expiration of the cost of that
piece of equipment. For instance, double-declining
balance may be used for an asset that will decline in
usefulness more in the early years of the life of the
piece of equipment. Straight-line depreciation should
be used when the cost expires at a constant rate.

22. MACRS, Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, is


the prescribed method to be used for tax purposes.
Under MACRS, useful lives are classified in set
recovery periods. The prescribed method of MACRS
uses, in most cases, the double-declining balance
method switching to straight-line in the later years.
The straight-line method of MACRS can also be used.

9-5
MACRS is generally required for tax reporting. It is not
GAAP.

23. The method required for tax purposes, MACRS, does


not necessarily reflect the use of the asset. The
recovery period and method is set by the Internal
Revenue Service with no regard for how each piece of
equipment will be used. This method promotes
consistency in recovery periods and methods in similar
assets regardless of use or type of business. For most
property, MACRS is based on the double-declining
balance method, switching to straight-line. Generally,
other methods may not be used for tax purposes.

24. Deferred taxes are taxes that will be paid in future


years that result from different accounting methods
being used for financial statement reporting and
income tax reporting. Deferred taxes are generally
shown as a liability on the balance sheet.

25. When an asset is purchased and put into service, an


estimate is made of the expected useful life of the
asset. However, as the asset is used, it may become
apparent that the estimate was incorrect or
circumstances may have changed (i.g., the asset is
used more than expected) to cause the estimate to be
incorrect. When these situations arise, it is necessary
to revise the estimated useful life of the asset and,
consequently, the amount of depreciation expense per
period. The revised estimated useful life will affect the
amount of depreciation per year. If the estimated life
is longer than originally expected, the amount of
depreciation per year will decrease; if the estimated
useful life is shorter than originally expected, the
amount of depreciation per year will be larger.

26. When an expenditure to an asset improves the quality,


this improvement is accounted for as if a new asset is
purchased; the equipment account is debited. The

9-6
improvement is depreciated over the remaining life of
the original asset, since the life of the asset is not
extended, only the quality is improved.

When an expenditure extends the life of the asset, this


expenditure in effect reduces some of the depreciation
already taken on the asset. This is accomplished by
reducing the accumulated depreciation account (a
debit to accumulated depreciation). Depreciation is
recalculated by spreading the remaining book value,
reduced by salvage value, over the remaining
estimated life of the asset.

27. When a long-term operational asset is sold for a gain,


total assets increase by the amount of the gain. The
gain is the amount the asset is sold for over the book
value of the asset. However, the cash flow from the
sale of the equipment is the amount the asset is sold
for (assuming it is sold for cash). The total amount of
cash received is shown as a cash inflow in the
investing section of the statement of cash flows.

28. Depletion is the process of systematically allocating


the cost of natural resources to expense based on
estimated production of the asset. The most common
method used to calculate depletion is units-of-
production. An estimated cost per unit of resource is
determined by dividing the cost of the asset by the
estimated production. The amount of expense for
each period is based on the number of units extracted
and sold.

29. Some of the most common intangible assets include


patents, copyrights, and goodwill. Amortization is
generally based on the legal life of the asset, the
useful life of the asset, or, if these do not apply, a
maximum period of 40 years. The asset is generally
amortized over the shortest of these possible lives.
The period over which an intangible asset can be

9-7
amortized for tax purposes is generally determined
according to terms specified by tax law. These terms
are generally different from those used for financial
accounting.

30. Most countries have developed accounting principles


that they apply to financial statements. While there are
many similarities, some significant differences do exist.
For example, in Britain, any purchased goodwill is
charged to retained earnings in the year of the purchase,
while in the U.S., goodwill is set up as an asset.
Japanese accounting principles report research and
development expense differently from U.S. GAAP. In
Japan, R&D is set up as an asset and expensed over a
period of time, whereas, in the U.S., R&D is expensed in
the year incurred.

31. Some industries are very capital intensive while others


are labor intensive. When evaluating managerial
performance, one must understand the industry that a
company is in and compare within the industry.

2. Double-Declining Balance Calculation:


Cost − Accumulated Depreciation x (2 x Straight-Line Rate)

Year 1 ($40,000 − $0 ) x (2 x .20) = $16,000


Year 2 ($40,000 − $16,000) x (2 x .20) = 9,600
Year 3 ($40,000 − $25,600) x (2 x .20) = 5,760
Year 4 ($40,000 − $31,360) x (2 x .20) = 3,456
Year 5 ($40,000 − $34,816) x (2 x .20) = 3,184*
Total $38,000

*Since the total depreciable cost is $38,000 ($40,000 − $2,000), the balance
must be expensed in Year 5 ($38,000 − $34,816).

EXERCISE 9-11A

a. Double-Declining Balance

(Cost − Accum. Depr.) x (2 x SL Rate) = Depr. Exp. Per Year

2005: ($40,000 − $0) x (2 x .20) = 16,000


2006: ($40,000 − $16,000) x (2 x .20) = $9,600
2007: ($40,000 − $25,600) x (2 x .20) = 5,760

2009: ($40,000 − $34,816) x (2 x .20) = 2,074 1,184*
Total Accumulated Depreciation $36,000

*Since the total depreciable cost is $36,000 ($40,000 − $4,000), the total
depreciation taken in 2009 is $1,184 ($36,000 − $34,816).

b. Units-of-Production

(Cost − Salvage) ÷ Estimated Production = Depr. Cost per Unit

$40,000 − $4,000 = $36,000


$36,000 ÷ 2,000,000 = $.018 cost per unit

Annual Depreciation = Depr. Cost per Unit x Actual Annual Units

2005: $.018 x 550,000 = $ 9,900


2006: $.018 x 480,000 = 8,640
2007: $.018 x 380,000 = 6,840
2008: $.018 x 390,000 = 7,020
2009 $.018 x 240,000 = 4,320 3,600*
Total Accumulated Depr. $36,000

*The total depreciable cost is $36,000 ($40,000 − $4,000). The depreciation taken

2. Double-Declining Balance Calculation:


Cost − Accumulated Depreciation x (2 x Straight-Line Rate)

Year 1 ($48,000 − $0 ) x (2 x .20) = $19,200


Year 2 ($48,000 − $19,200) x (2 x .20) = 11,520
Year 3($48,000 − $30,720) x (2 x .20) = 6,912

Year 5($48,000) −$41,779) x (2 x .20) = 2,488 3,221*
Total $45,000

*Since the total depreciable cost is $45,000 ($48,000 − $3,000), the balance of
depreciable cost is expensed in year 5. ($45,000 − $41,779)

EXERCISE 9-11B

a. Double-Declining Balance

(Cost − Accum. Depr.) x (2 x SL Rate) = Depr. Exp. Per Year

2006: ($28,000 − $0) x (2 x .25) = $14,000


2007: ($28,000 − $ 14,000) x (2 x .25) = 7,000
2008: ($28,000 − $21,000) x (2 x .25) = 3,500
2009: ($28,000 − $24,500) x (2 x .25) = 1,750 1,500*
Total Accumulated Depreciation $26,000

*Since the total depreciable cost is $26,000 ($28,000 − $2,000), the total
depreciation taken in 2009 is $1,500 ($26,000 − $24,500).

b. Units-of-Production

(Cost − Salvage) ÷ Estimated Production = Depr. Cost per Unit

$28,000 − $2,000 = $26,000


$26,000 ÷ 1,300,000 = $.020 cost per page

Annual Depreciation = Depr. Cost per Page x Actual Annual Units

2006: $.020 x 350,000 = $ 7,000


2007: $.020 x 370,000 = 7,400
2008: $.020 x 280,000 = 5,600
2009: $.020 x 320,000 = 6,400 6,000*
Total Accumulated Depr. $26,000

*The total depreciable cost is $26,000 ($28,000 − $2,000). The depreciation taken in
2009 is $6,000 [$26,000 − ($7,000 + $7,400 + $5,600)].

accumulated depreciation. Or, the cost of $90,000 less new accumulated

($46,000 − $6,000) ÷ 4 = $10,000 per year

Double-declining balance:
(Cost − Accumulated depreciation) x (2 x SL rate)

($46,000 − $0-) x (2 x .25) = $23,000 depreciation for year 1

Real World Case -- Different Numbers for Different Industries


The companies and the set of ratios to which each relates are as follows:
Anheuser Busch (A-B) Company 4
Darden Restaurants (Darden) Company 3
Deere & Co. (Deere) Company 1
Pfizer Company 2
Students can probably identify Darden as Company 3 based on the lengths of the
operating cycles. Company 3 had the shortest at 21 days. The fact that “sales
per employee” is lowest at Company 3 is another indication that it is Darden. If
not for the length of the operating cycles, and high sales per employee, Company
1 might be associated with Darden due to the relatively high percentage of
current assets at Company 1.
Students who know anything about beer brewing will probably determine that A-
B’s operating cycle is not longer than 300 days, so this will eliminate Companies
1 and 2, and leave Company 4, which has a 51-day operating cycle, as being A-B.
However, students may be confused by the high level of sales per employee at A-
B if they think of A-B as a company that has a lot of employees driving trucks to
deliver beer to stores. Some students may not be aware that the delivery truck
drivers are employees of the distributor, not the brewer.
The analysis above leaves Companies 1 and 2 as being Deere and Pfizer.
Perhaps the easiest way to identify Company 2 as being Pfizer is its VERY high
gross margin percentage. Although most students may not know that
pharmaceutical companies usually have such high margins, they should be able
to conclude that an equipment manufacturer does not.
One factor that may seem odd for Company 1 being identified as Deere is the fact
that most of its assets are current assets. It seems logical to assume that most of
the assets of a manufacturer of heavy equipment would consist of property, plant,
and equipment. Deere has a lot of receivables that it finances for its customers.

This problem is used to test thinking and writing skills. Students should realize that
the equipment of the two companies had originally cost different amounts. Also,
the numbers indicate that the equipment of Company A is older than that of
Company B assuming both companies use the same depreciation methods.

9-115
ATC 9-7

a. Posey’s predictions are correct if her belief about asset usage is correct.
Using straight-line depreciation will allow Bailey to depreciate his
equipment evenly over the equipment’s life. If actual usage of the
equipment is greater in the early years, corresponding revenue would be
high while depreciation expense would be low compared to actual usage.
The result would be to overstate net income. In future periods when usage
declines, revenues will decline. Since depreciation expense will remain the
same, net income will decline. Depending on the severity of the decline in
usage (i.e., lower revenue), net losses could occur. Posey, on the other
hand, will show a correlation between revenues and depreciation expense.
When revenues are high, corresponding with high equipment usage, her
depreciation expense will be high. As revenues decline there will be a
parallel decline in expense; thereby resulting in a more stable amount of
reported income.

b. Assuming that Posey’s belief about asset usage is accurate, then Bailey’s
approach may be questionable but not illegal. Accountants strive to
accurately report on the financial condition of a company. Accordingly,
accountants are ethically bound to make fair representations in the
financial reports that they prepare or audit.

c. The usage of a single depreciation method may in fact thwart


comparability. Suppose that Bailey, in fact, uses assets evenly over their
useful lives while Posey’s company uses its assets more in the early years
and less as the assets age. Under these circumstances comparisons
between Bailey and Posey would be facilitated if Bailey used straight-line
depreciation while Posey used accelerated depreciation. Companies need
alternative recording procedures in order to accurately reflect their
financial condition. Accountants prepare and audit statements under the
assumption that users have a reasonable grasp of accounting practices
and procedures. It is the investor’s responsibility to become reasonably
informed of generally accepted accounting principles before they attempt
to use financial statements to make business decisions.

9-116
ATC 9-7 (cont.)

d. Featherson obviously has little understanding of accounting or how to


interpret accounting information. He apparently does not understand that
different accounting procedures can result in financial reports that differ
when no differences exist in the underlying substance between companies.
Further, he appears to have a misunderstanding of the auditor’s role in
financial reporting. The auditor merely attests to whether the statements
are prepared in accordance with GAAP. An unqualified opinion is not
intended to constitute a recommendation to invest. Featherson’s lack of
accounting knowledge is likely to adversely affect his investment
decisions. When it does, he will have no one to blame but himself. As
stated above, it is the users’ responsibility to attain a reasonable level of
knowledge prior to attempting to use accounting reports when making
business decisions.

b. Intel manufactures computer hardware (chips). This requires the use of


lots of expensive equipment. Microsoft produces software. Writing
software uses more people than equipment. Thus, Intel has more of its
assets invested in equipment than does Microsoft. Also, it appears that
Intel has more total assets than Microsoft, but keep in mind that a lot of
Microsoft’s important assets, personnel, goodwill, market share, etc. do not
show-up on traditional financial statements.
