16) Dyke Company's net incomes for the past three years are presented below:
2016 2015 2014
$480,000$450,000$360,000
During the 2016 year-end audit, the following items come to your attention:
1>Dyke bought equipment on January 1, 2013 for $392,000 with a $32,000 estimated
salvage value and a six-year life. The company debited an expense account and credited
cash on the purchase date for the entire cost of the asset. (Straight-line method)
2>During 2016, Dyke changed from the straight-line method of depreciating its cement
plant to the double-declining balance method. The following computations present
depreciation on both bases:
2016 2015 2014
Straight-line36,00036,00036,000
Double-declining46,08057,60072,000
The net income for 2016 was computed using the double-declining balance method, on
the January 1, 2016 book value, over the useful life remaining at that time. The
depreciation recorded in 2016 was $72,000.
3>Dyke, in reviewing its provision for uncollectibles during 2014, has determined that
1% is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. The
company had used 1/2 of 1% as its rate in 2015 and 2016 when the expense had been
$18,000 and $12,000, respectively. The company recorded bad debt expense under the
new rate for 2016 . The company would have recorded $6,000 less of bad debt expense
on December 31, 2016 under the old rate.
