Exercise 10-19 Pharoah Inc. recently replaced a piece of automatic equipment at a net price of $3,950, f.o.b. factory. The replacement was necessary because one of Pharoahs employees had accidentally backed his truck into Pharoahs original equipment and made it inoperable. Because of the accident, the equipment had no resale value to anyone and had to be scrapped. Pharoahs insurance policy provided for a replacement of its equipment and paid the price of the new equipment directly to the new equipment manufacturer, minus the deductible amount paid to the manufacturer by Pharoah. The $3,950 that Pharoah paid was the amount of the deductible that it has to pay on any single claim on its insurance policy. The new equipment represents the same value in use to Pharoah. The used equipment had originally cost $64,400. It had a book value of $47,800 at the time of the accident and a second-hand market value of $53,870 before the accident, based on recent transactions involving similar equipment. Freight and installation charges for the new equipment cost Pharoah an additional $1,400 cash. |
