Use the fоllоwing infоrmаtion for questions 18-22. The Ace Security Compаny is formed to provide guаrds for businesses and special events. On May 1 after borrowing money and purchasing assets, Ace is ready for business. The activities in questions 18-22 occurred during May. For each activity please indicate which accounts increased and/or which accounts decreased AND the dollar amount of the increase or decrease. Note 1 - So there is no confusion on the wording of your account names, please indicate in parenthesis behind each account name if it is an Asset (A), Liability (L), Owners’ Equity (OE), Revenue (R), or Expense (E) account. Note 2 – you need to list an actual account. “Asset”, “Liability”, “Owners’ Equity”, “Expense”, etc. are NOT accounts, they are elements. You need to list the accounts, whether the account is increasing or decreasing, and the dollar amount for each transaction. Just try your best at the names of the accounts. Note 3 - for an expense account I will accept either "increasing" or "decreasing" because when an expense increases it will ultimately decrease owners' equity. So you can write either one, I know what you mean. Purchased a printer for the office. Ace Security paid $300 in cash and will pay the remaining $200 within 45 days.

A cоmpаny purchаsed а machine twelve years agо fоr $51,000, and it has four more years of life remaining. With this machine, variable operating costs are $45,000 per year. It is estimated that if the company disposes the machine in four years they can get $3,000 for the machine, but it will cost $1,200 to have it removed from the facility. The machine currently has a disposal value of $12,000 with a removal cost of $1,500. The company has been looking at potential alternatives to upgrade or replace the machine. Annual sales are $285,000 and overhead fixed costs are $38,000 per year. One option is to upgrade the current machine. The upgrade costs $15,000 and the upgraded machine will decrease annual variable operating costs by $3,800. The remaining life of the machine will remain the same. It is estimated that the upgraded machine will have a disposal value of $6,000 in four years with a removal cost of $1,200. Another option is to purchase a more efficient, but highly complex, new machine for $85,000. The new machine has a one-time installation cost of $2,500. The new machine will increase annual sales by $26,000 and increase annual variable operating costs by $7,500. The life of the new machine would be four years and due to the uniqueness of the new machine it has no value on the secondary market in four years and will just be thrown away with no removal costs. If the new machine is purchased it would replace the current machine. Considering just quantitative factors, which option is better for the company?
