Neptune purchased a new storage facility on April 1, 2021. The new building cost $80,000. A new member of the accounting team recorded depreciation on the new facility using the sum-of-the-years (SYD) method. The manager was impressed with his hard work, since he appropriately used partial year depreciation and used the method correctly. However, she had to remind him Neptune uses the straight line method for buildings. Unfortunately, the mistake in method wasn't corrected before the financial statements were created.

At the time of the purchase, the operations manager estimated that the new facility would be used for 5 years and would have a $2,000 salvage value. What are the journal entries for this scenario?

During the year there were a number of meetings with the representatives of the insurance company.

XYZ Inc. received a letter that the settlement check for that amount has been mailed, but it was not received before year-end. How should XYZ Inc. treat this in its financial statements? Because the settlement of the claim was conveyed by a letter from the insurance company that also stated that the settlement check was in the mail for 90% of the claim, record 90% of the claim as a receivable as it is virtually certain that the contingent asset will be received. Wait until next year when the settlement check is actually received and not recognized or disclose this receivable at all since at year-end it is a…
