Eastern corporation, an east coast company, purchased some machinery from western industries located in west coast at a liquidation sale for a total purchase of $220,000. What is the total cost that...

Problem 19
Carry value can be calculated as follows
Total discount on the bond at issue = $100000-90000 = $10000
Amount of Discount amortized over 3 years = (10000/5 ) * 3 = $6000
Carrying value at the end of 3 years = 90000+6000 = $96,000

iii. Apple Allstars would pose the greatest risk of uncollectible. This is because the amount is greater than 90 days overdue. The amount of dues is $10000 which is higher than the amount due from Date Deals posing a greater risk to the firm.
iv. Date Deals would pose the second most risk to the business since the amount due from it is overdue for more than 90 days.
v. Implementing a 2/15 n 30 credit term with Berry Babies will be beneficial. This is because the amount is still not due and if the firm is offered a discount for payment within 15 days, it is likely that the amount will be paid sooner. Moreover, as compared to Apple AllStars, Berry Babies has a higher undue amount. Hence the firm will benefit by recovering a higher amount within 15 days.
vi. A notes receivable earns interest on the outstanding amount while accounts receivable does not. Converting $50000 overdue from Berry babies in the 1-30 day bracket will be the best move since the business will be likely to earn substantial interest on the highest amount which is due from its debtors. Another possible benefit is that the debtor may make the payment quickly in order to avoid further interest payable on the notes receivable thus clearing the overdue amount.
Problem 3
a. Total Purchase price = $220,000
Add: Electrician costs = $22,500
Plumbing costs = $7,500
Cost of machinery = $250,000
*Transportation charges are not capitalized since the terms are FOB destination which means that seller is responsible for the delivery of the goods.
**Monthly maintenance is an expense.
b. Salvage value considered for depreciation = $15000
Estimated useful life = 10 years
Depreciation on straight line basis = (Cost – Salvage value )/ Estimated useful life
= 250000-15000 / 10
= $23,500
c. Book value after 2 years = 250000-23500-23500 = 203,000
Add: cost of repairs = $80000
*Cost of repairs is capitalized since it increases the useful life of the machinery.
Net book value = 283,000
Remaining number of years before repairs = 10-2 = 8 years
Useful life after repairs = 8+6 = 14 years
Salvage value = 17000
Annual depreciation = (283000-17000)/ 14 = $19,000
