Part 3

required to determine the Book Value of each of its fixed assets and make decisions regarding the
purchases, trades, and disposition of various assets.
Indicate your recommendation and justify your position for each of the following events.

1. SPC purchased a tube extruder on April 3, 2007 for $27,000. It has a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $4,000. SPC used double declining balance depreciation for this asset. On February 19, 2012 SPC has an offer to sell this unit for 8,000.

2. SPC purchased a winding machine on July 28, 2012 for $21,000. It has a useful life of 6 years or 12,000 hours. It has a residual value of $3,000. SPC is unsure whether to use straight line depreciation or units of production. It anticipates using the equipment approximately 3000 hours each year.

3. SPC purchased a funneling machine on February 9, 2009 for $72,000. It has a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $12,000. SPC has used Straight line depreciation for this equipment. SPC has determined that this equipment no longer meets its needs and has decided to exchange this unit for a new model. The new Model has a MSRP of $100,000. On December 28, 2012 SPC will exchange its equipment for the new Model and pay $77,000.

4. SPC has a fully piece of equipment that is currently fully depreciated on its books. This equipment is no longer used and SPC wants to get rid of it. The cost of the equipment is $10,000.
