- In 2017, a company acquired a silver mine for P50,000. In 2018, the company constructed a road to the silver mine costing P5,000,000. Improvements and other development costs made in 2018 cost P750,000. It is estimated that the mine can be sold for P600,000 after mining activities. During 2019, buildings were constructed near the mine to house workers at a total cost of P2,000,000. Residual value of these building amounted to P200,000. In 2020, it was estimated that 4,000,000 tons of silver ore could be removed from the mine for refining. During 2020, the first year of operations, 500,000 tons were removed from the mine, 200,000 of which remained in inventory at the end of the year. In 2021, workers mined 1,000,000 tons of silver. During that same year, geologists discovered that the mine contained 3,000,000 tons of silver ore in addition to the original 4,000,000 tons. Development costs of P1,300,000 were made in early 2021 to facilitate removal of the additional silver. In addition,…arrow_forwardRalph's Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.8 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $30,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 15 years is $60,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $45,000 immediately, $15,000 at the end of year 1, and $15,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $280,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 15 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $15,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $15,000 over the 15-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $40,000 per year.…arrow_forwardSpears Corporation bought a machine on January 1, 2016. In purchasing the machine, the company paid $50,000 cash and signed an interest-bearing note for $100,000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 5 years, after which time the salvage value is expected to be $15,000. The machine is expected to produce 67,500 widgets during its useful life. Given this information, if 10,000 widgets are produced in 2017, how much depreciation should be recorded in 2017, assuming that Spears Corporation uses the units-of-production depreciation method? a.$20,000 b.$22,222 c.$40,000 d.$30,000arrow_forward

It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $45,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $90,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $40,000 immediately, $15,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2.

The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…arrow_forwardIn 2017, Sunflower Company acquired a silver mind in Eastern Mindanao. Because the mine is located deep in the Mindanao frontier, sunflower was able to acquire the mine for the low price of P50,000. In 2018, developmental cost P750, 000. Because of the improvements o the mind and to the surrounding land, it is estimated that the mine can be sold for P600, 000 when mining activities are complete. During 2019, the buildings were constructed near the mine site to house the mine workers and their families. The total cost of the five buildings was P2,000,000. Estimated residual value is P200,000. In 2018, geologists estimated that 4 million tons of silver ore be removed from the mine for refining. During 2020, the first year of operations, only 500,000 tons of silver ore were removed from the mine. However, in 2021, workers mined 1 million tons of silver.

Machine 1 was acquired at a cost of $872,000 in 2017. The machine was depreciated on a straight-line basis over its expected six-year life. At the end of 2020, management decided that this machine should have been depreciated over a total useful life of eight years. Salvage value, expected to be negligible, has not changed. Machine 2 was acquired at a cost of $448,500 in 2019. It was being depreciated on a declining-balance method using a rate of 40%. Salvage values were expected to be minimal. In 2020, management decided that, based on the usage patterns seen to date, unit-of-production would be a more appropriate method of depreciation. The machine is used sporadically and suffers from wear and tear only as used (i.e., obsolescence is not much of a factor in the loss of utility). Estimated units-of-production total 350,000 of which 75,000 units…arrow_forward
