In January, Prahbu purchased for $100,000 a new machine for use in an existing production line of his manufacturing business. Assume that the machine is a unit of property and is not a material or supply. Prahbu pays $4,075 to install the machine, and after the machine is installed, he pays $2,350 to perform a critical test on the machine to ensure that it will operate in accordance with quality standards. On November 1, the critical test is complete, and Prahbu places the machine in service on the production line. On December 3, Prahbu pays another $5,400 to perform periodic quality control testing after the machine is placed in service.

During the year there were a number of meetings with the representatives of the insurance company. Finally, before year-end, it was decided that XYZ Inc. would receive compensation for 90% of its claim. 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.

- Walsh Inc. is a privately held company with an August 31st fiscal year end. Walsh’s operations include operating a local brewery. Walsh believes that an impairment loss on some of the older water tanks it owns needs to be recorded as a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which [the water tank] is being used has occurred. The historical cost of the water tanks is $4,000,000 and as of the end of the fiscal year (August 31, 2021) $2,500,000 in depreciation on the water tanks has been recorded. Furthermore, as this date, Walsh estimates that the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) from the use and eventual disposition of the water tanks is $1,250,000. The fair value of the water tanks is estimated to be $975,000 at that time. Accounting Issue: Is there an impairment loss that Walsh needs to recognize on the water tanks? If so, what is the correct amount of the impairment loss on the water tanks as of August 31st, 2021?arrow_forwardFreebird Inc acquired a truck to transport its inventory from the port to its various stores. The truck cost $125,000; taxes and licensing fees were $12,000; a custom paint job to put the firm logo on cost $5,000. In the first week of use, an inexperienced driver shredded two of the truck's tires, necessitating replacement tires that cost $750. The truck is estimated to last 5 years or 200,000 miles. It has an expected salvage value of $10,000. In year 1, the truck is estimated to be driven 40,000 miles; in years 2 and 3 the truck's mileage is estimated to be 50,000 per year, and 30,000 per year for years 4 and 5.
