PostHeaderIcon Accounting for Project?

I am working on a project that requires some very general tools, which will, in the future, be used for many many other projects and miscellaneous tasks. How do I assign these costs for these tools? 100% to this project or estimate how much the equipment will depreciate due to this project and cost it out that way, or use maybe activity costing… let me know what you think.
So, Ernest, you’re saying, and I would agree, that it would be rather imprudent to allocate 100% of an indirect cost (in this case, a tool) to a project if that tool was going to be used for many other projects and things.

The more I think of it, the more it becomes clear. If we allocated 100% to this project, then the next project would have to be 50% and the first project would need to be retro-actively changed to 50% and so on. In our business and personal lives, we cannot wait around 10 years to find out the true cost of a project, we have to make assumptions on activity level and the reasonable amount of an indirect cost that we can allocate to a project based on machine hours or direct labor, etc. If we did allocate 100% and based prices off of that cost number, then the prices would be ridiculously high for the first few projects and we wouldn’t sell anything. You must assume a reasonable allocation rate for indirect costs or you will go out of business. Right??

PostHeaderIcon How does an LLC account for a fundraising project as income?

If an LLC launches a brick paver project/campaign to raise money, do they account for the income at the end of the year? Selling engraved brick pavers to raise capital is necessary for an LLC.

PostHeaderIcon I’m doing my accounting project, and this I cannot figure out?

The note payable relating to the June 2, and 10 transactions is a five-year note, with interest at the rate of 12 percent annually. Interest expense should be computed based on a 360 day year.
[IMPORTANT NOTE: The original note on the computer equipment purchased on June 2 was $124,000. On June 10, eight days later, $23,750 was repaid. Interest expense must be
calculated on the $124,000 for eight days. In addition, interest expense on the $100,250 balance of the loan ($124,000 less $23,750 = $100,250) must be calculated for the 20 days remaining in the month of June.]

The fixed assets have estimated useful lives as follows:

Building – 31.5 years
Computer Equipment – 5.0 years

The building’s scrap value is $7,500. The office equipment has a scrap value of $350. The computer equipment has no scrap value. Calculate the depreciation for one month.
