Charles is the CFO of a toy factory. The factory's management has decided to rearrange and reinstall all of the facility's manufacturing equipment in order to promote a faster, more efficient workflow. Charles knows the original cost for installing all of the facility's machinery as well as the total cost for the rearrangement and reinstallation. If Charles wants to handle the rearrangement and reinstallation cost as a replacement, which of the following statements is accurate? O Charles can handle the rearrangement and reinstallation cost as a replacement only if he knows that this cost is material in amount and expected to benefit multiple periods. O Charles can handle the rearrangement and reinstallation cost as a replacement only if he is able to estimate the accumulated depreciation on the original installation costs to date. O Charles currently has all the information he needs to handle the rearrangement and reinstallation cost as a replacement. O Charles can handle the rearrangement and reinstallation cost as a replacement only if he knows that these costs are immaterial in amount.

You are an accountant at a large research university. The controller is considering switching its accounting policy so that it is in line with other universities. The current policy requires all assets to be depreciated on a straight-line basis with no salvage value and a full year of depreciation taken in the year of acquisition, regardless of the acquisition date. The proposed policy would require all assets to be depreciated on a straight-line basis with no salvage value, and depreciation taken based on the nearest full month from the acquisition date. The data provided shows all assets that are in use, even though some assets have already been fully depreciated. The controller has provided a dashboard visualization that shows the differences between the two depreciation policies for the period ending December 31, 2018, and asks you to answer the questions below. Click here to view the data in Tableau, and here to view it in Power BI. (The Tableau and Power BI files contain the same data; you can use either to answer the questions in this assignment. Your instructor may specify which program they prefer you to use!) How to Access Tableau: You can open the Tableau file in this problem statement with Tableau Desktop software. If you don't have Tableau Desktop, you can download Tableau Reader, a free program that allows you to open Tableau visualizations. To get it, search for "Tableau Reader" in your internet browser, or click here. How to Access Power BI: You can open the Power BI file in this problem statement with Power BI Desktop. If you don't have it already, search for "Power BI download" in your internet browser, or click here for a free download. Explain what effect the depreciation policy change will have on the income statement and the balance sheet. How many assets have been fully depreciated already but are still in use? What options does the university have in accounting for these assets? On a go-forward basis, what can be considered for categories that have a high percentage of assets still being used.
