- Neville Enterprises has a number of fully depreciated assets that are still being used in the main operations of the business. Because the assets are fully depreciated, the president of the company decides not to show them on the balance sheet or disclose this information in the notes. Evaluate this procedure.arrow_forwardRecently, Nai Su Ltd. experienced a strike that affected a number of its operating plants. The controller of this company indicated that it was not appropriate to report depreciation expense during this period because the equipment did not depreciate and an improper matching of costs and revenues would result. She based her position on the following points. 1. It is inappropriate to charge the period with costs for which there are no related revenues arising from production. 2. The basic factor of depreciation in this instance is wear and tear, and because equipment was idle, no wear and tear occurred. Comment on the appropriateness of the controller’s comments.arrow_forwardThe following paragraphs describe fraudulent accounting committed by the company Rite-Aid in 1999. After reading the paragraphs, list the journal entries you think Rite-Aid would have used to do what is described here. You will have to make an educated guess as to what journal entries the company would use to cover up the fraud. Rite Aid retroactively increased the estimated lives (periods of time) over which some groups of assets were depreciated. These retroactive depreciation changes violated GAAP, which requires such changes to be done prospectively. There was no legitimate business purpose or supporting documentation for these changes. The effect of the retroactive depreciation changes resulted in increases to income, and caused some asset groups to have a negative depreciation expense. These changes resulted in an approximately $14.6 million overstatement of FY 1998 pre-tax income.arrow_forward
