Tamarisk, Inc. purchased a delivery truck for $29,200 on January 1, 2020. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,200, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 16,100 in 2020 and 12,800 in 2021.
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.
4. Assume that Marigold uses the straight-line method. Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2020, balance sheet.
Answer:
1. Depreciation expense per mile = $0.27 per mile
2-1. The straight-line method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
We have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = $5,475
3. See the journal entries below.
4. Net book value = $25,825
Explanation:
1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.
Depreciation expense per mile = (Purchase price delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Expected driven miles = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 100,000 = $0.27 per mile
2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.
2-1. The straight-line method
Annual depreciation expense = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 8 = $3,375
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375
2-2. Units-of-activity method
Depreciable amount = Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value = $29,200 - $2,200 = $27,000
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2020 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (16,100 / 100,000) = $4,347
Depreciation expense for 2021 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2021 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (12,800 / 100,000) = $3,456
2-3. The double-declining-balance method
Straight-line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.1250, or 12.50%
Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = Straight-line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%
Therefore, we have:
Depreciation expense for 2020 = Purchase price of the delivery truck * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = $29,200 * 25% = $7,300
Depreciation expense for 2021 = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Depreciation expense for 2020) * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = ($29,200 - $7,300) * 25% = $5,475
3. Prepare the journal entry to record 2020 depreciation.

The management of Penfold Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $270,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $60,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 12% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:______.
a. $(11,700).
b. $(53,700).
c. $(269,997).
d. $(113,700).
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $270,000
Cash flow= $60,000
Number of years= 5
Discount rate= 12%
To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:
Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43
Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63
.....
Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57
Now, the NPV:
NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57
NPV= -53,713.43
On March 1, 2020, the Teal Company received a $45,000 payment for annual magazine subscriptions (the subscriptions run from the March, 2020 edition through the February 2021 edition). Upon receipt of the payment, Teal Company credited the amount to sales revenue. Provide any entries necessary to correctly state sales revenue on the 2020 income statement. Show your computation.
Answer:
The company has incorrectly credited the sales revenue account at the time of the receipt of payment. So, the journal entry to record the transaction is as follows:
Date Particulars Debit Credit
March 1, 20 Sales Revenue A/c $45,000
To Unearned Sales Revenue A/c $45,000
(To record Unearned sales revenue)
