American Movieplex, a large movie theater chain, leases most of its theater facilities. In conjunction with recent
operating leases, the company spent $28 million for seats and carpeting. The question being discussed over breakfast
on Wednesday morning was the length of the depreciation period for these leasehold improvements. The
company controller, Sarah Keene, was surprised by the suggestion of Larry Person, her new assistant.
Keene: Why 25 years? We’ve never depreciated leasehold improvements for such a long period.
Person: I noticed that in my review of back records. But during our expansion to the Midwest, we don’t need
expenses to be any higher than necessary.
Keene: But isn’t that a pretty rosy estimate of these assets’ actual life? Trade publications show an average
depreciation period of 12 years.


1. How would increasing the depreciation period affect American Movieplex’s earnings?
2. Does revising the estimate pose an ethical dilemma?
3. Who would be affected if Person’s suggestion is followed?

我不太懂怎么做 有高人指点吗 紧急~~

1. How would increasing the depreciation period affect American Movieplex’s earnings?
Increasing the depreciation period, American Movieplex’s earnings will be greater.
2. Does revising the estimate pose an ethical dilemma?
Yes. According to the company's record, the company doesn’t want expenses to be any higher than necessary.
3. Who would be affected if Person’s suggestion is followed?
If Person's suggestion is followed, the company's profit would decrease.
The first people would be CEO. Investors will ask CEO to explain why profit decreased. And then CEO would ask CFO why company earn less money than before. Relative to the company's ability of earning, CFO's and CEO's bonus would be affected too.

Any different opiniont?

Increasing  ...

先谢谢你的指导
但我还有一些部份不太懂
Q1) Can you tell me why American Movieplex’s earnings will be greater? any Formula?
Q2 ) Can you give me more details? i do not get it
Q3) can you also tell me why the company's profit would decrease if Person's suggestion is followed

这一节课很难懂 看了几遍还是不太懂希望你可以详细解释一下 真的谢谢你了

You may check the Charpter for Depreciation expensive. I think it will explain to you why depreciation will decrease while increasing the depreciation period.
Since depreciation expensive decreases, the profit will incease.

但我还是不太懂Q2...有高人可以帮忙吗:( 谢谢

没有人可以帮忙解答吗？？
