In addition to the basic purchase price, the company paid a setup fee of $800, sales tax of $6,400, and S27,800 for a special platform on which to place the computer. Brown's management estimates that the computer will remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $20,000. The computer will process 45,000 documents the first year, with annual processing decreasing by 2,500 documents during each of the next four years (that is, 42,500 documents in 2019; 40,000 documents in 2020, and so on). For help with deciding which depreciation method to use, the company president has requested a depreciation schedule for each of the three depreciation methods.

For each of the generally accepted depreciation methods, prepare a depreciation schedule showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value. 2. For financial reporting purposes, Brown uses the depreciation method that maximizes reported income in the early years of an asset's use. For income tax purposes, the company uses the depreciation method that minimizes income tax payments in those early years. Consider the first year Brown Co. uses the computer.

Net cash provided by operations before income tax is $150,000 for the computer's first year. The company's income tax rate is 28%. For the two depreciation methods identified in requirement 2, compare the net income and net cash provided by operations (cash flow). Show which method gives the net income advantage and which method gives the cash flow advantage
