BACKGROUND: It is important to be able to solve accounting problems, but it is equally important to have a good understanding of how various transactions and decisions affect the financial statements. REQUIRED: On January 1, 20Y1, Martin Manufacturing paid cash for a new piece of manufacturing equipment. The machine cost $40,000 and had an estimated useful life of 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value. Martin uses the double-declining balance method of depreciation and the direct method of presenting operating cash flows. During 20Y2, brand new technology was developed in Martin's industry. If Martin does not adjust, it will lose sales, as the new technology enables its competitors to produce a higher quality product using less time and materials. This development triggered an impairment analysis of Martin's existing machinery at the end of the year. 20Y2 depreciation had already been recorded by the time of the analysis. The manufacturing equipment purchased in 20Y1 now has an expected future cash flow of $12,000 and a fair market value of $2,000.
