Blue Inc. acquired some manufacturing equipment in January 2018 for $400,000 and depreciated it $40,000 each year for three years on a straight-line basis. During 2021, the manufacturer announced a new technology for this type of equipment that will make the old models obsolete by the end of 2024. As a result, Blue will plan to replace the equipment at that time, effectively reducing the asset's life from ten to seven years. In its financial statements for 2021, Blue should: A. Charge $280,000 in depreciation expense. B. Report the book value of the equipment in its December 31,2021 balance sheet at $210,000. C. Make an adjustment to retained earnings for the error in measuring depreciation during 2018-2020. D. None of these answer choices are correct. O A O B O D

The equipment will be considered fully amortized a when the balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account reaches $100,000. The equipment produced 50,000 units in 2020. Required:a. Determine the estimated residual value of the equipment.b. What is the amortizable cost of the equipment?c. Calculate depreciation expense for 2020 under each of the following methods:i. straight-lineii. units-of-productioniii. double-declining-balanced. If you were a new accountant in a company and you were asked to determine how best to depreciate a new machine they just bought; how would you determine the best method?

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $22.50 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate?
