Abraham Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,242,000 and first occupied it in January 1984

Abraham Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,242,000 and first occupied it in January 1984. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $70,800 at the end of that time.

Early in 1994, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $554,600. At the time it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years, and a salvage value of $23,600.

In 2012, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2043 or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

a) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1984 through 1993
b) Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2011
c) Is an entry necessary to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2012?
d) Compute the annual depreciation to be charged beginning with 2012

The Pyramid Construction Company has used the completed-contract method of accounting for construction contracts

P 20-2 Change in principle; change in method of accounting for long-term construction

The Pyramid Construction Company has used the completed-contract method of accounting for construction contracts during its first two years of operation, 2009 and 2010. At the beginning of 2011, Pyramid decided to change to the percentage-of-completion method for both tax and financial reporting purposes. The following table presents information concerning the change for 2009–2011. The income tax rate for all years is 40%.

Pyramid issued 50,000 $1 par, common shares for $230,000 when the business began, and there have been no changes in paid-in capital since then. Dividends were not paid the first year, but $10,000 cash dividends were paid in both 2010 and 2011.

Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle. (All tax effects should be reflected in the deferred tax liability account.)
2. Prepare the 2011–2010 comparative income statements beginning with income before income taxes.
3. Prepare the 2011–2010 comparative statements of shareholders' equity. (Hint: The 2009 statements reported retained earnings of $36,000. This is $60,000 − [$60,000 × 40%].

Frank Lou had recently been promoted to construction manager at a development firm

Fraud Case 14-1 Frank Lou had recently been promoted to construction manager at a development firm. He was responsible for dealing with contractors who were bidding on a multi-million dollar excavation job for the new high-rise. Times were tough, several contractors had gone under recently, and the ones left standing were viciously competitive. That morning, four bids were sitting on Frank’s desk. The deadline was midnight, and the bids would be opened the next morning. The first bidder, Bo Freely, was a tough but personable character that Frank had known for years. Frank had lunch with him today, and after a few beers, Bo hinted that if Frank "inadvertently" mentioned the amount of the lowest bid, he'd receive a "birthday card" with a gift of cash. After lunch, Frank carefully unsealed the bids and noticed that another firm had underbid Bo's company by a small margin. Frank took Bo's bid envelope, wrote the low bid amount in pencil on it, and carried it downstairs where Bo's son William was waiting. Later that afternoon, a new bid came in from Bo's company. The next day, Bo's company got the job, and Frank got a birthday card in his mailbox.

Requirements
• Was Frank's company hurt in any way by this fraudulent action?
• How could this action hurt Frank?
• How can a business protect against this kind of fraud?
