Several years ago Velvet Company purchased a small building adjacent to its manufacturing plant in order to have room for expansion when needed. Since the company had no immediate need for the extra space, the building was rented out to another company for rental revenue of $40,000 per year. The renter’s lease will expire next month, and rather than renewing the lease, Velvet Company has decided to use the building itself to manufacture a new product. Direct materials cost for the new product will total $40 per unit. It will be necessary to hire a supervisor to oversee production. Her salary will be $2,500 per month. Workers will be hired to manufacture the new product, with direct labor cost amounting to $18 per unit. Manufacturing operations will occupy all of the building space, so it will be necessary to rent space in a warehouse nearby in order to store finished units of product. The rental cost will be $1,000 per month. In addition, the company will need to rent equipment for use…
Max's Grill leases space from Venture Real Estate. The terms of the non-renewable, four-year lease require
Max to pay $5,000/month of rent. Max remodels the building by installing new non-removable flooring (a
leasehold improvement) at a cost of $100,000. The flooring has an estimated useful life of 10 years with no
salvage value. Max utilizes straight-line depreciation.
What depreciation expense should Max record for the flooring's first full year?
Laco Company acquired its factory building about 20 years ago. For several years, the company has rented out a small, unused part of the building. The renter's lease will expire soon. Rather than renewing the lease, Laco Company is considering using the space itself to manufacture a new product. Under this option, the unused space will continue to be depreciated on a straight-line basis, as in past years.
Direct materials and direct labour cost for the new product would be $50 per unit. In order to have a place to store finished units of the new product, the company would have to rent a small warehouse nearby. The rental cost would be $2,000 per month. It would cost the company an additional $4,000 each month to advertise the new product. A new production supervisor would be hired to oversee production of the new product who would be paid $3,000 per month. The company would pay a sales commission of $10 for each unit of product that is sold.

- A company decided to lease a food truck to promote sales across the country. The truck cost $65,000 and the company signed an irrevocable five-year lease. The company is trying to determine how to account for this asset. Which Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guideline should the company use to report the truck? Capitalize the lease only because its non-cancellable. Capitalize the leased asset only if the company also capitalizes installment purchases. Capitalize the lease because it is a fixed asset. Capitalize the lease because it is long-term.arrow_forwardCitation Builders, Incorporated, builds office buildings and single-family homes. The office buildings are constructed under contract with reputable buyers. The homes are constructed in developments ranging from 10−20 homes and are typically sold during construction or soon after. To secure the home upon completion, buyers must pay a deposit of 10% of the price of the home with the remaining balance due upon completion of the house and transfer of title. Failure to pay the full amount results in forfeiture of the down payment. Occasionally, homes remain unsold for as long as three months after construction. In these situations, sales price reductions are used to promote the sale. During 2024, Citation began construction of an office building for Altamont Corporation. The total contract price is $23 million.

In conjunction with recent operating leases, the company spent $28 million for seats and carpeting. The question being discussed over breakfast on Wednesday morning was the length of the depreciation period for these leasehold improvements. The company controller, Sarah Keene, was surprised by the suggestion of Larry Person, her new assistant. Keene: Why 25 years? We’ve never depreciated leasehold improvements for such a long period. Person: I noticed that in my review of the back records. But during our expansion to the Midwest, we don’t need expenses to be any higher than necessary. Keene: But isn’t that a pretty rosy estimate of these assets’ actual life? Trade publications shows an average depreciation period of 12 years How would increasing the depreciation period affect American Movieplex’s earnings? Does revising the estimate pose an ethical dilemma? Who would be affected if Person’s…arrow_forward
