Accounting in Palisade Limited company
Question 1
Palisade Limited began the current year with $425,000 in Accounts Receivable and a balance in
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $84,290. During the year, the company sold goods for
$5,650,000 on credit and collected $5,450,000 from customers. During the year, accounts receivable
valued at $41,300 were written off as being uncollectible. $600 of accounts that were written off as
uncollectible were actually collected later on during the year (these cash receipts were not included
in the $5,450,000 figure given above).
Required:
Determine the amount of Bad debts expense for the current year and the ending balance in the
Allowance for doubtful accounts assuming that the company uses:

end of the year is $73,240).

Question 3
Cozumel Concrete Limited (CCL) acquired a machine on March 1, 2005 for $510,000. The
expected life of the machine was 84 months and the expected salvage value was estimated to
be $48,000 at the end of its useful life. On January 1, 2009, an additional investment of
$110,200 was made which reduced operating costs by 40%. The machine was retired from
operations on February 28, 2012. Maintenance costs for the machine were: $7,500 in 2006 and
2007; $8,000 in 2008 and 2009: $12,000 in 2010 and 2011.
Required:
(a) Draw up a chart showing the beginning net book value, depreciation for each year, and
the ending net book value, assuming that CCL elected to depreciate the machine using
(i) straight-line depreciation.
(ii) diminishing balance depreciation with an amortization rate of 30%.
(b) Determine the accounting gain or loss if the actual cash received on the sale of the
machine was $40,000, $60,000 and $80,000 on February 28, 2012. Make these
calculations under both straight-line depreciation and diminishing balance depreciation.
[Note: Do not consider the facts in part (b) when completing your answer to part (a) – in
other words, assume that the company learns of the actual salvage value after all
depreciation calculations in part (a) are completed.]
