Non-current Assets Questions

Question 1

Your boss has asked you to make some changes to a forecast model and to sanity check
the output once the changes are processed. She suggests you check the following line
items:

Rio Fashions & Co


Gross PP&E 5,005
Accumulated depreciation 4,123
Net PP&E 882
Cost of goods sold 800
Total assets 3,258
Total liabilities 1,147
Total equity 2,111

Predict what these numbers will be when you increase the warehouse depreciation expense
by 156:

Rio Fashions & Co – adjusted for extra depreciation


Gross PP&E
Accumulated depreciation
Net PP&E
Cost of goods sold
Total assets
Total liabilities
Total equity

Predict what these numbers will be when you increase the capital expenditure by 320 (paid
in cash). Assume the first change has not yet been made

Rio Fashions & Co – adjusted for extra capital expenditure


Gross PP&E
Accumulated depreciation
Net PP&E
Cost of goods sold
Total assets

Total equity

Question 2

Harley Davidson had the following property, plant and equipment figures in their financial
statements:

Property, plant & equipment, at cost:


Land & land improvements 2,139
Buildings & improvements 84,150
Machinery & equipment 381,722

1
Gross property, plant & equipment 468,011
Less accumulated depreciation 183,236
Net property, plant & equipment 284,775

Using the following assumptions and BASE analysis, forecast the impact on Harley
Davidson’s PP&E accounts:
• Depreciation will remain as 15% of last year’s net PP&E
• Capital expenditure will remain as 8% of the same year sales

Question 3

The José Brothers purchased a large car manufacturing plant in New Jersey. They
estimated the factory had five more years of operating life left. They asked their new analyst
to prepare a depreciation schedule for the factory using three different methods; straight line,
sum-of-the-years’-digits (SYD), and double declining balance (DDB). They estimated the
factory would have a zero salvage value. Below are the schedules she prepared:

Year Straight line SYD DDB


1 6,000 10,000 13,200
2 6,000 8,000 7,920
3 6,000 6,000 4,752
4 6,000 4,000 2,851
5 6,000 2,000 1,277
Total 30,000 30,000 30,000

Which method will produce the highest charge to net income in year 1?

Which method will produce the highest charge to net income in year 4?
