- Revising depreciation estimates Hard Bodies Co. is a fitness chain that has just completed its second year of operations. At the beginning of its first fiscal year, the company purchased fitness equipment at a cost of 600,000 and estimated that the equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. The company uses the straight-line depreciation method. The company reported net income for the first two years of operations as follows: Mike Gambit, the companys chief financial officer (CFO), has recently run financial models to predict future net income, and he expects net losses to continue at (2,000) per year for the next three years. James Steed, the president of Hard Bodies, is concerned about these predictions, as he is under pressure from the companys owner to return the company to Year 1 net income levels. If the company does not meet these goals, both he and Mike will likely be fired. Mike suggests that the company change the estimated useful life of the fitness equipment to 10 years and increase the equipments estimated residual value to 50,000. This will reduce depreciation expense and increase net income. 1. Evaluate the decision to change the equipments estimated useful life and estimated residual value to improve earnings. How does this change impact the usefulness of the companys net income for external decision makers? 2. If Mike and James make the change, are they acting in an ethical manner? Explain.arrow_forwardScenario Several years ago, Carlson Manufacturing moved to a larger production facility to accommodate its growing business. Instead of selling their old facility, they rented it to another firm and have been receiving rental income from the tenant. The tenant’s lease is getting ready to expire but instead of renewing the lease, Carlson has decided to take the building back and use it to manufacture a new product. Carlson will continue to depreciate the building on a straight-line basis as they have done in prior years, so there will be no change in depreciation expense. The old building is large enough to house the majority of operations, but they will need to rent a small storage building for raw materials. They have also decided that instead of purchasing the machinery necessary for production, they will rent the equipment on a monthly basis. Their existing workforce is unable to accommodate the production of the new product so Carlson will hire new workers and a supervisor to…arrow_forwardOn November 1, 2022, Crane Corporation management decided to discontinue operation of its Rocketeer Division and approved a formal plan to dispose of the division.
