physical substance.

3) Extraordinary repairs, replacements, and additions are added to the appropriate asset accounts
rather than being recorded as expenses.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Extraordinary repairs, replacements, and additions extend the useful life of a
tangible asset or improve its output in the future; they are recorded as increases in asset accounts,
not as expenses.

8) If a company produces the same number of units per period over an asset's useful life, each
period's depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be the same as that recorded
using the units-of-production method.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Straight-line depreciation allocates the same amount of depreciation each period
over the asset's useful life. Under the units-of-production method, the depreciation expense,
accumulated depreciation, and book value vary from period to period, depending upon the
number of units produced. If the number of units produced is constant each period, each period's
depreciation expense using the straight-line method will be the same as that recorded using the
units-of-production method.

9) Tax accounting and financial accounting use the same depreciation calculations and there are
no differences in the results between the two accounting systems.
Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Most companies use one method of depreciation for reporting to stockholders and
a different method for determining income taxes. Keeping two sets of accounting records like
this is both ethical and legal because the primary objective of financial reporting differs from that
of income tax reporting.

10) Impairment occurs when the estimated future cash flows from a long-lived asset are greater

Answer: FALSE

less than the carrying value of that asset.

11) When an asset is sold and the selling price exceeds the asset’s book value, net income will
increase.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: A gain on disposal equals the excess of the proceeds from selling the asset over the
asset's book value. A loss results when the asset's book value exceeds the proceeds from selling
the asset. Gains increase net income while losses decrease net income.

12) Intangible assets with limited lives are usually amortized using the straight-line method with
no residual value.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The cost of intangible assets with a limited life is spread on a straight-line basis
over each period of useful life in a process called amortization. Most companies do not estimate
a residual value for their intangible assets because, unlike tangible assets that can be sold as
scrap, intangibles usually have no value at the end of their useful lives.

14) There are no significant differences between GAAP and IFRS with regards to the accounting
for tangible and intangible assets.
Answer: FALSE
Explanation: IFRS differ from GAAP somewhat in accounting for tangible and intangible assets.
GAAP requires tangible and intangible assets to be recorded at cost and not revalued for later
increases in asset values. In contrast, IFRS allow companies the option of reporting these assets
at fair values (e.g., appraisals), provided they use the fair value method consistently each year.
IFRS also require companies to capitalize costs of developing intangible assets, such as
prototypes for making new products or tools. GAAP generally requires that such development
costs be expensed because of the uncertainty of their value.

15) Assuming nothing else changes, an increase in average net fixed assets will cause the fixed
asset turnover ratio to decrease.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Fixed asset turnover ratio = Net revenue ÷ Average net fixed assets
The denominator uses the value of average net fixed assets (property and equipment) over the
same period as the revenue in the numerator. If average net fixed assets increase, the fixed asset
turnover ratio will decrease.

16) A declining fixed asset turnover ratio can be caused by acquiring additional assets in the
current period in anticipation of increased revenue in the future.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Fixed asset turnover ratio = Net revenue ÷ Average net fixed assets
The denominator uses the value of average net fixed assets (property and equipment) over the
same period as the revenue in the numerator. If additional assets are acquired, the denominator
will increase causing the ratio to decrease.

17) Companies within the same industry do not always use the same depreciation method, but

18) Some analysts compare companies by focusing on earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), rather than net income.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: EBITDA is an abbreviation for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization." It is a measure of operating performance that some managers and analysts use in
place of net income. Analysts calculate EBITDA by starting with net income and then adding
back depreciation and amortization expense (as well as nonoperating expenses such as interest
and taxes). The idea is that this measure allows analysts to conduct financial analyses without
having to deal with possible differences in depreciation and amortization.

19) The calculation for depletion of natural resources is similar to the calculation for depreciation
when the units-of-production method is used.
Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Depletion is calculated based on units extracted, which is comparable to the units-
of-production method, which allocates the depreciable cost of an asset over its useful life based
on the relationship of its output during the period to its total estimated output.
