Determine the costs that should be capitalized in the machinery account
Capitalization is the act of recognizing costs that provide a future economic benefit by setting up an asset account (Power Point). The costs that should be capitalized include:
Cost of raw materials used during trial runs of machinery $1,000
Additional materials, lumber, steel, and other supplies needed in installation $35,400
Wages paid to company employees to help unload and install the machinery during regular working hours $10,500
Trucking expenses related to the rigging company, which disassembled the machinery in Kentucky and transported it to Pawtucket $104,783
Legal bill related to writing the contract for the equipment $3,000
For any cost that was not capitalized, explain your reasoning
Cost to repair damage from machinery dropped from truck during unloading -- This cost is not included because it is self-inflicting by the company, or rather internally generated cost
ii. Cost of advertising the company's new manufacturing capability in national trade magazines. This cost will only be of benefit for a designated period and not for the economic life of the machinery iii. Casualty insurance policy on new machinery. This cost will only be of benefit for that period and not for the economic life of the machinery
iv. Interest paid on note to bank used to finance the purchase of machinery. This cost will only be of benefit for that period and not for the economic life of the machinery
c. Determine the depreciable cost of the machinery
The depreciable cost of the machinery includes the cost of...
Compute the depreciation expense for 2001 and 2002 using straight-line depreciation
Depreciation = Depreciable Cost / Number of Useful asset years
= (399,223 -- 30,000) / 20 years
i. Annual expense for 2001 is $18,461.15 x 3/12 = $4,615.29
ii. Annual expense for 2002 is $18,461.15
e. Compute the depreciation expense for 2001 and 2002 using double-declining balance depreciation
The depreciation under double declining method is calculated as:
Depreciable Cost / Asset's useful life in years x 2
Depreciable Cost = (original cost - accumulated depreciation)
i. Depreciation expense for 2001
Accumulated depreciation for 2001 = 0
= ((399,223 -0) / 20) x 2
= $39,922.3
ii. Depreciation expense for 2002
((399,223 -39,922.3) / 20) x 2
= $35,930.07
f. Assume that, during 2004, a large oven used to dry decorated prices needed a major repair costing $20,000. Should the cost of the repair be capitalized? Why or why not?
The cost of the large oven repair should be capitalized. This is because the repair can be classified to be an extraordinary repair, which implies that it is nonrecurring. Therefore, the cost should be added to the cost of the machine because the benefit that will arise will be more than just that particular period or year.

Income Tax Payable 331,000
e. Identify the amounts of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities that will be presented on PF's December 31, 2004 balance sheet. Will these deferred tax assets and liabilities be presented as current or long-term?
Deferred tax asset of $9,000 will be presented on the balance sheet of PF as at December 31, 2004 and will be presented as current. On the other hand, deferred tax liability of $200,000 contingent loss will be presented as long-term on the balance sheet of PF
The common guiding principles of economics provide little direction. As a consequence, U.S. international tax policy is a clutter of rules with a diversity of political and economic reasons. It is frequently described as a concession that strikes a balance. Policy leans toward tightening foreign tax rules and putting foreign income on equal footing with U.S. income when it is thought that foreign investment hurts the U.S. economy. Then

Accounting Theory Over the year, the world scholars continue to evaluate the economics of the world to understand their functioning. In this course, they developed the subject of accounting to assess the frameworks of financial principles. The accounting theory in discussion involves reviewing the historical foundations of financial reporting and creating new models of reporting the financial developments and exchanges (Richards, 2009, p. 17). Accounting theory evolves continually; thus, there are
However, when a shock happens that changes that pattern, the information is no longer relevant. In periods of turmoil, only the most up-to-date information is relevant. The usefulness of the information wanes quickly as the behavior of the company becomes more erratic. After a period of erratic behavior and change, the company may be forced to make internal changes that affect the way they do business. They may make
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is will probably be known as one of the most significant change to federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. The act was passed after a series of corporate financial scandals made the national news, which included a slew of companies such as Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom. The most notable provisions of the act include such items as both criminal and
Accounting and Intrusion Detection In a report issued by Paladin Technologies, Inc., entitled: "Security Metrics: Providing Cost Justification for Security Projects," 273 organizations were surveyed on the topic of security.
