Assignment:

1. Sanchez Computer Center, continued.

 At the end of September, Tony took a complete inventory of his supplies and found the following:

  • 5 dozen ¼” screws at a cost of $8.00 a dozen
  • 2 dozen ½” screws at a cost of $5.00 a dozen
  • 2 cartons of computer inventory paper at a cost of $14 a carton
  • 3 feet of coaxial cable at a cost of $4.00 per foot

After speaking to his accountant, he found that a reasonable depreciation amount for each of his long-term assets is as follows:

  • Computer purchased July 5, 201X Depreciation $33 a month
  • Office equipment purchased July 17, 201X Depreciation $10 a month
  • Computer workstations purchased Sept. 17, 201X Depreciation $20 a month

Tony uses the straight-line method of depreciation and declares no salvage value for any of the assets. If any long-term asset is purchased in the first 15 days of the month, he will charge depreciation for the full month. If an asset is purchased on the 16th of the month, or later, he will not charge depreciation in the month it was purchased.

August and September’s rent has now expired.
