Evaluate the consequences of depreciation charged on the historical cost of the assets. I) depreciation is calculated on the original cost of fixed assets, the resulting figure under accumulated depreciation will be only the amount equivalent to the original costof the asset. I) If depreciation is calculated as per historical accounting, sufficient funds will not be available for assets' replacement when its life is over. III) the replacement cost of the asset will be more than the original cost of inflation so that replacement provisions made by the way of depreciation charge on the original cost will be insufficient. IV) the conventional system of accounts based on historical cost does not give a true and fair view of the business enterprise. Statements I, Il and IV b. Statements I, I| |II and IV Statements I, Il and II Statements II, III and IV

A loss on impairment on a limited life intangible asset is the difference between the asset’s Select one: carrying value and its undiscounted expected future net cash flows. fair value and its net realizable value. fair value and its discounted expected future net cash flows. carrying value and its fair value.

The methods for depreciating assets are 1) straight-line depreciation; 2) declining balance depreciation (specifically double declining balance); and 3) units-of-production or units-of-activity or activity based depreciation. Is it possible that I can recieve help with descibing each method and comparing the different depreciation methods and its effect on net operating income?

A gain or loss on the sale of a plant asset is determined           by comparing the:       A. Asset's original cost with the sales proceeds       B.  Asset's book value with the sales proceeds       C. Asset's original cost with the asset's book value.       D. Initial estimate of the asset's salvage value with the sales proceeds.       E. None of these.

Which of the following statements is true when the straight-line method is used to compute amortization? Multiple Chaice Expense recognizes declines as the asset wears out Accumulated amortization is a constant amount during the asset's estimated useful life. Amortization expense per period is the amortizable cost divided by the number of periods in the asset's useful life. The carrying value of an asset is a constant amount during the asset's useful life. None of the other alternatives are correct

Place T or F in front of each of the following statements. 1. The straight-line method of depreciation is based on the assumption that depreciation expense can be regarded as a constant function of time. 2. Plant assets should be written down (below cost) when their market value has declined temporarily. 3. The accounting profession has developed specifically recommended procedures for recording appraisal increases with respect to plant assets. 4. An asset's cost minus its accumulated depreciation equals its book value. 5. The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation ignores salvage value in the computation of an asset's depreciable base. 6. When using the double-declining balance method of determining depreciation, a declining percentage is applied to a constant book value. 7. The book value of plant assets initially declines more rapidly under decreasing-charge methods than under the straight-line method. 8. Accounting depreciation is computed by…

3) Which of the following best describes a depreciation base?7) The acquisition cost of an asset relative to its fair value O The estimated market value of an asset at the end of its useful life O The historical cost of an asset less the depreciation recognized to date O The amount that should be expensed over an asset's useful life

With regards to depreciation, which of the following is not true? O Straight Line depreciation includes initial cost and salvage value in the depreciation calculation. In straight line depreciation, the depreciation life (n) is set based on the MACRS property class. MACRS Depreciation method is the only method allowed for accounting and tax purposes. In MACRS depreciation, the salvage value is assumed to be zero. In straight line depreciation, the asset is depreciated down to a book value equal to the salvage value.

Which of the following statements about depreciation is not true? A. Depreciation does not mirror the actual loss of value over time. B. Depreciation is the allocation of the asset’s cost to expense over the expected years of use. C. If the fair value of the asset increases, depreciation is reversed to reflect the change in value. D. U.S. GAAP requires depreciation methods to be systematic and rational.

The salvage value is a component of the calculation of the double declining balance (DDB) depreciation method.True or False..
