Raintree Company has purchased land and a warehouse for $18,000,000. The warehouse is expected to last 20 years and to have a residual value equal to 10 percent of its cost. The chief financial officer (CFO) and the controller are discussing the allocation of the purchase price. The CFO believes that the largest amount possible should be assigned to the land because this action will improve reported net income in the future. Depreciation expense will be lower because land is not depreciated. He suggests allocating one-third, or $6,000,000 of the cost to the land. This results in depreciation expense each year of $540,000 [($12,000,000 – $1,200,000) / 20 years].
The controller disagrees. She argues that the smallest amount possible, say one-fifth of the purchase price, should be allocated to the land, thereby saving income taxes, since the depreciation, which is tax-deductible, will be greater. Under this plan, annual depreciation would be $648,000 [($14,400,000 – $1,440,000) / 20 years]. The annual tax savings at a 30 percent tax rate is $32,400 [$648,000 – $540,000) x 0.30].
How would each decision affect the company’s cash flows? Ethically, how should the purchase cost be allocated? Who will be affected by the decision?
As the USA has opened up trade, it has lost many of its low-skilled manufacturing jobs, but it has gained jobs in high-skill industries, such as the soft ware industry. (hint: recall, countries tend to export goods that are intensive in the factors they have in abundance compared to other countries and USA has more high-skilled labor). Discuss whether the United States as a whole has been made better off or worse off by trade. Mention specific industries or groups which have been hurt or which have benefited from trade to support your answer.
