Killroy Company owns a trade name that was purchased in an acquisition of McClellan Company. The trade name has a book value of \(3,500,000, but according to GAAP, it is assessed for impairment on an annual basis. To perform this impairment test, Killroy must estimate the fair value of the trade name. (You will learn more about intangible asset impairments in Chapter 12.) It has developed the following cash flow estimates related to the trade name based on internal information. Each cash flow estimate reflects Killroy’s estimate of annual cash flows over the next 8 years. The trade name is assumed to have no salvage value after the 8 years. (Assume the cash flows occur at the end of each year.) Probability Cash Flow Estimate Assessment \)380,000 20% 630,000 50% 750,000 30% Instructions (a) What is the estimated fair value of the trade name? Killroy determines that the appropriate discount rate for this estimation is 8%. (b) Is the estimate developed for part (a) a Level 1 or Level 3 fair value estimate? Explain.
Using the appropriate interest table, compute the present values of the following periodic amounts due at the end of the designated periods. (a) \(30,000 receivable at the end of each period for 8 periods compounded at 12%. (b) \)30,000 payments to be made at the end of each period for 16 periods at 9%. (c) $30,000 payable at the end of the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth periods at 12%
Presented below are three unrelated situations.
(a) Dwayne Wade Company recently signed a lease for a new office building, for a lease period of 10 years. Under the lease agreement, a security deposit of \(12,000 is made, with the deposit to be returned at the expiration of the lease, with interest compounded at 5% per year. What amount will the company receive at the time the lease expires?
(b) Serena Williams Corporation, having recently issued a \)20 million, 15-year bond issue, is committed to make annual sinking fund deposits of \(600,000. The deposits are made on the last day of each year and yield a return of 10%. Will the fund at the end of 15 years be sufficient to retire the bonds? If not, what will the deficiency be?
(c) Under the terms of his salary agreement, president Rex Walters has an option of receiving either an immediate bonus of \)55,000, or a deferred bonus of $70,000 payable in 10 years. Ignoring tax considerations and assuming a relevant interest rate of 4%, which form of settlement should Walters accept?
At the end of 2017, Sawyer Company is conducting an impairment test and needs to develop a fair value estimate for machinery used in its manufacturing operations. Given the nature of Sawyer’s production process, the equipment is for special use. (No secondhand market values are available.) The equipment will be obsolete in 2 years, and Sawyer’s accountants have developed the following cash flow information for the equipment.
Net Cash Flow Probability Year Estimate Assessment 2018 \(6,000 40% 9,000 60% 2019 \) (500) 20% 2,000 60% 4,000 20% Scrap Value 2019 $ 500 50% 900 50%
Instructions Using expected cash flow and present value techniques, determine the fair value of the machinery at the end of 2017. Use a 6% discount rate. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the year.
