Question

Swift Company purchased a machine on January 1, 2010, for $500,000. At the date of acquisition, the machine had an estimated useful life of six years with no salvage. The machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2013, Swift determined, as a result of additional information, that the machine had an estimated useful life of eight years from the date of acquisition with no salvage. An accounting change was made in 2013 to reflect this additional information. What is the amount of depreciation expense on this machine that should be charged in Swift's income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013? Swift Company purchased a machine on January 1, 2010, for $500,000. At the date of acquisition, the machine had an estimated useful life of six years with no salvage. The machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 1, 2013, Swift determined, as a result of additional information, that the machine had an estimated useful life of eight years from the date of acquisition with no salvage. An accounting change was made in 2013 to reflect this additional information. Assume that the direct effects of this change are limited to the effect on depreciation and the related tax provision, and that the income tax rate was 30% in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. What should be reported in Swift's income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013, as the cumulative effect on prior years of changing the estimated useful life of the machine? Hager Company sold some of its plant assets during 2013. The original cost of the plant assets was $750,000 and the accumulated depreciation at date of sale was $700,000. The proceeds from the sale of the plant assets were $185,000. How does this transaction impact the calculation of operating and investing cash flow (assume the indirect method for cash flow from operations)? During 2013, Stout Inc. had the following activities related to its financial operations: Carrying value of convertible preferred stock in Stout, converted into common shares of Stout $360,000 payment in 2013 of cash dividend declared in 2012 to preferred shareholders $186,000 payment for the early retirement of long-term bonds payable (carrying amount $2,420,000) $2,450,000. Proceeds from the sale of treasury stock (on books at cost of $258,000) $300,000 The amount of net cash used in financing activities to appear in Stout's statement of cash flows for 2013 should be how much

Explanation / Answer

The answer is $62,500 Three years at $83,333.33 = $250,000 Four years at $62,500.00 = $250,000 At the end of 7 years the asset would be fully depreciated. Once you change the useful life there is no restatement.
