Exercise 6-20A Asset replacement decision
Kahn Company paid $240,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, 2017. During 2019, a technological breakthrough resulted in the development of a new machine that costs $300,000. The old machine costs $100,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $36,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, 2019, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $80,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.

- Expenditures After Acquisition Roanoke Manufacturing placed a robotic arm on a large assembly machine on January 1, 2019. At that time, the assembly machine was expected to last another 3 years. The following information is available concerning the assembly machine. The robotic arm cost $225,000 and was expected to extend the useful life of the machine by 3 years. Therefore, the useful life of the assembly machine, after the arm replacement, is 6 years. The assembly machine is expected to have a residual value of $120,000 at the end of its useful life. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the addition of the robotic arm. 2. Compute 2019 depreciation expense for the machine using the straight-line method, and prepare the necessary journal entry. 3. What is the book value of the machine at the end of 2019? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION What would have been the effect on the financial statements if Roanoke had expensed the addition of the robotic arm?arrow_forwardq On June 30, 2024, Prego Equipment purchased a precision laser-guided steel punch that has an expected capacity of 300,000 units and no residual value. The cost of the machine was $450,000 and is to be depreciated using the units-of-production method. During the six months of 2024, 24,000 units of product were produced. At the beginning of 2025, engineers estimated that the machine can realistically be used to produce only another 230,000 units. During 2025, 70,000 units were produced. The company would report depreciation in 2024 of: $36,000. $43,900. $18,000. $21,950.arrow_forwardCurrent Attempt in Progress M On January 1, 2024, Nash Company, a small machine-tool manufacturer, acquired for $1,190,000 a piece of new industrial equipment. The new equipment had a useful life of 5 years, and the salvage value was estimated to be $72,200. Nash estimates that the new equipment can produce 12,000 machine tools in its first year. It estimates that production will decline by 1,140 units per year over the remaining useful life of the equipment. The following depreciation methods may be used: (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining-balance, (3) sum-of-the-years'-digits, and (4) units-of-output. For tax purposes, the class life is 7 years. Use the MACRS tables for computing depreciation. (a1)arrow_forward
- Show Attempt History Current Attempt in Progress Blossom Ltd. purchased a new machine on April 4, 2017, at a cost of $156,000.
