Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Large Mart has been unable to find answers fortwo accounting problems. He has

asked you to investigate the following questions and to write a report (including relevant references to source materials and accounting
standards) that will tell him what the answers to these questions are, and that will help him understand the solutions to the problems.

1)

The CFO is thinking about changing the depreciation method used to depreciate computers owned by Large Mart from the sums-of-digits
method to the straight line method because he believes that this will reduce the amount of expenses that Large Mart will have to record in
the following year. Please write a report that answers the following questions:

a) Is it possible to change the depreciation method of an

asset that is already partially depreciated AND what are the rules and regulations that Large Mart would have to follow ifthis change is
possible? (provide a detailed explanation of your answer, including references to source materials)

b) Does the reason why the Large Mart

CFO wants to change the depreciation method of Large Mart’s computers (see above) influence your answerfor question 1a? (provide a
detailed explanation of your answer, including references to source materials)

2) Large Mart is currently using its own engineers

and its own laboratory to develop a new product (called the “study pillow’). The CFO remembers from his accounting studies that
development expenditures can sometimes be capitalised but he cannot rememberthe details. As a result he has asked you to write a report
that answers the following questions;

a) Provide a detailed explanation ofthe requirements that must be fulfilled if Large Mart wants to

capitalise the expenditure caused by the development ofthe study pillow.

b) Describe (using examples) what Large Mart can do to prove that

the project fulfils the necessary requirements.
