How much accumulated depreciation is posted?

ASSIGNMENT FOR WEEK NINE

Part A – Inventory and Depreciation

Consider this Balance Sheet situation:

Three years ago Mr. Jones bought a new machine that inserts pimentos into green olives. He paid $10,000 for the machine, and it went happily to work

and has been filling 5,000 green olives per day with bright red pimentos

At the time of purchase, Mr. Jones’ accountant told him that the standard useful life for this type of equipment was 10 years. Mr. Jones decided to use

the straight-line method to calculate depreciation.

Please answer the following questions:

1. What amount would go on the Balance Sheet at the time of

purchase? 2. Where would this amount have been posted on the Balance

Sheet? 3. What is the current book value of the equipment?

4. How much accumulated depreciation is posted?

Consider this Income Statement situation: Mr. Jones started the year with no olives in inventory. He bought 5,000

green olives at 25 cents each in March, 10,000 at 50 cents each in July, and 10,000 at 75 cents each in November. At year end he had 2,000 olives left

in inventory.

Calculate his ending inventory value using:

5. Average cost method

6. FIFO 7. LIFO

8. Which method should he use when he prepares his Income

Statement to show the bank?
