ACC E272 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Historical Cost
28 views2 pages
Document Summary
Companies should record property, plant and equipment at the fair value of what they give up or at the fair value of the asset received, whichever is more evident. If a company takes a discount, the company should consider the discount as a. The terms of cash discounts are attractive that failure to take them indicates reduction in the purchase of the asset management error or inefficiency. To properly reflect cost, companies account for assets purchased on long term credit contracts at the present value of the consideration exchanged between the contracting parties at the date of the transaction. The objective is to approximate the interest rate that the buyer and seller would. The company uses the cash exchange price of the asset acquired as the basis for negotiate in a similar borrowing transaction recording the asset and measuring the interest element.

| 17 | Corporate taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. | ||||||||

| tax accrued for January through November. Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. | |||||||||
