Quiz: Which of the following statements concerning the accounting for leases is not true? Assets rented under a short-term operating lease are not reflected on the lessee's balance sheet, and the rent expense (or lease expense) involved is reported in the income statement as an operating expense. The economic impact of a financing lease isn't really any different from buying the asset outright and signing a note payable that will be paid off, with interest, over the life of the asset. At the inception of a financing lease, the lessee's total assets and total stockholders' equity are both increased for the present value of the lease payments to be made over the life of the lease. A financing lease results in the lessee assuming virtually all the benefits and risks of ownership of the leased asset.

Velco purchased a delivery truck at the beginning of Year 1 at a cost of $60,000. The truck is estimated to have a useful life to Velco of 5 years and an estimated salvage value of $10,000. It is estimated that the truck will be driven 100,000 miles during Velco's ownership period. Depreciation expense for Year 3 (the third year of the asset's life) under the straight-line method would be: ($0.60 per mile × total miles driven during Year 3) $12,000 $10,000 ($0.50 per mile × total miles driven during Year 3)

Reason:($60,000 - $10,000) / 5 = $10,000

Velco purchased a delivery truck at the beginning of Year 1 at a cost of $60,000. The truck is estimated to have a useful life to Velco of 5 years and an estimated salvage value of $10,000. It is estimated that the truck will be driven 100,000 miles during Velco's ownership period. The balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of Year 3 (the third year of the asset's life) under the straight-line method would be: ($0.50 per mile × total miles driven during Year 1) ($0.50 per mile × total miles driven from Year 1 to Year 3) $30,000 ($0.60 per mile × total miles driven from Year 1 to Year 3)

Reason:($60,000 - $10,000) / 5 = $10,000 × 3 = $30,000

Regarding the MACRS rules of calculating depreciation for income tax purposes, which of the following statements are true?

Identify a true statement about goodwill that is considered to be impaired and has been written down to its impaired fair value. Any subsequent impairment of goodwill should not bring the book value of goodwill below the total stockholders' equity. There will be no further impairment testing permitted in the future unless the concerned company's annual profit exceeds $5 million. The impaired fair value is required to be fully written off over three years following the year of impairment. The impaired fair value would become the new book value that would be used as the reference to determine further impairment in future years.
