Explanation / Answer

Answer to Exercise 9-6:

Depreciation Expense per year = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Depreciation per year before change of Useful Life = (48,500 – 2,700) / 10
Deprecation per year before change of Useful Life = $4,580

No. of Year for which Depreciation has been charged = Accumulated Depreciation / Depreciation per year
No. of Year for which Depreciation has been charged = 18,320 / 4,580
No. of Year for which Depreciation has been charged = 4 years

Book Value at the Beginning of 5th Year = Cost – Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value at the Beginning of 5th Year = $48,500 - $18,320
Book Value at the Beginning of 5th Year = $30,180

Revised Depreciation = (Book Value on the date of Change – Salvage Value) / Revised life
Revised Depreciation = (30,180 – 2,700) / 2
Revised Depreciation = $13,740

Answer to Question No. 9-10.

Return on Assets = Net Income / Average Total Assets
Average Total Assets = (28.55 Billion + 30.90 Billion) / 2
Average Total Assets = $29.77 Billion

Return on Assets = 4.25 / 29.77
Return on Assets = 14.28%

Asset Turnover Ratio = Sales / Total Assets
Asset Turnover Ratio = 21.75 / 30.90
Asset Turnover Ratio = 0.70 times
