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]

Please do not enter signs, symbols, or punctuation.  Reppenhagen Co. is a company that occasionally makes credit sales. It knows that it will be unable to collect all of its accounts receivable and, every year at year-end, it makes appropriate adjusting entries relating to bad debts or uncollectible accounts receivable. In 2012, Reppenhagen Co. had credit sales of $50,000, it collected $52,000 of accounts receivable, and wrote off $4,000 of accounts receivable as bad debts. At year end in 2012, Reppenhagen Co. had a balance in accounts receivable of $2,000 and a balance in allowance for doubtful accounts of $90. Imagine that you are an accountant employed at Reppenhagen Co. At year end in 2012, the CEO of Reppenhagen Co. asks you to calculate bad debt expense in two ways so that she can compare them to each other. Calculate the bad debt expense Reppenhagen Co. would recognize if it used the percentage of sales method assuming that you believe Reppenhagen Co. will be unable to collect 3% of its credit sales.[bd1] Calculate the bad debt expense Reppenhagen Co. would recognize if it used the percentage of accounts receivable method assuming that you believe Reppenhagen Co. will be unable to collect 5% of its accounts receivable.[bd2]
