Before my online students put me on the spot and ask me (Heidie), a hill I’m willing to die on is that vanilla and chocolate swirled ice cream is pretty much a waste. It ultimately becomes chocolate ice cream.

Accrual accounting defines something called “net income” which is intended to measure changes in the economic value of the firm and is different from cash flows. Imagine that you were trying to adjust a Monopoly company’s net income to find its cash flows from operating activities at the end of 2021 (as you would if you were preparing the operating section of the cash flow statement using the indirect method). The company’s balance sheet shows that it had accounts receivable of $100 at the end of 2020 and accounts receivable of $200 at the end of 2021. How would you use this information to adjust net income, bringing it closer to cash flows from operating activities?

Note on answer formatting for this question: enter only numbers rounded to the nearest dollar. Please do not enter signs, symbols, or punctuation.  Assume that your firm purchased a long-term asset, a machine, on 7/1/2010. The cost of purchasing the machine was $50,000, the cost to build the factory where the machine is housed was $10,000,000, the cost to ship the machine to the factory was $15,000, the cost to install the machine on the factory floor where it is useful to the company was $12,000, the cost of paying your accounting staff to record the purchase of the machine was $500, and the estimated cost of lost productivity during the time that the machine was installed was $20,000. You expect the machine to be useful to your company for 10 years and to be sold to a scrap dealer for $10,000 when the company can no longer use it. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method. 1. As of year-end on December 31st, 2010, calculate: The depreciation expense related to this machine for 2010: [DExp2010]  The balance in the accumulated depreciation account for this machine after the 2010 depreciation expense is recorded: [AD2010]   2. As of year-end on December 31st, 2011, calculate: The depreciation expense related to this machine for 2011: [DExp2011]  The balance in the accumulated depreciation account for this machine after the 2011 depreciation expense is recorded: [AD2011]   3. On January 1st, 2012, your firm learns that the machine has a design flaw that will reduce the period of time during which it will be useful to the firm from 10 years to 5 years and 6 months. The flaw also changes the firm’s expectations about the value of the machine to a scrap dealer when it is no longer useful to the firm. The firm previously expected it to be worth $10,000 to a scrap dealer but now only expects it to be worth $6,950 to a scrap dealer. 3. As of year-end on December 31st 2012, calculate The depreciation expense related to this machine for 2012: [DExp2012]  The balance in the accumulated depreciation account for this machine after the 2012 depreciation expense is recorded: [AD2012]
