Question

Bird Manufacturing paid $62,000 to purchase a computerized assembly machine on January 1, 2014. The machine had an estimated life of eight years and a $2,000 salvage value. Bird's financial condition as of January 1, 2017, is shown in the following financial statements model. Bird uses the straight-line method for depreciation.

Added an overdrive mechanism for $8,000 that would improve the overall quality of the performance of the machine but would not extend its life. The salvage value was revised to $2,500.

Record the 2017 transactions in a statements model like the one shown below. In the Cash Flow column, indicate whether the item is an operating activity (OA), an investing activity (IA), a financing activity (FA) and net change in cash (NC). The letters NA indicate that an element is not affected by the event. The first event is recorded as an example.
