Depicting and explaining the meaning contributed towards Conceptual framework:
The point mainly states that individuals objectively assumes, where fundamental forms of social power is mainly needed, who could trade on the objective of assumption. Moreover, the use of legitimacy in preparing accounts could eventually help in generating accounts, which could be perceived as normal. Moreover, agreeing to the arguments of Hines mainly states that profession attempts to uncover the overall ideas and truths that might help in developing political action to ensure survival of profession. Moreover, the conceptual framework mainly allows CF to improve their decision usefulness for reducing the restrictions on stewardship. In addition, the conceptual framework mainly allows effective comparisons of two companies, within the same industry and past performances (Christensen, Cottrell and Baker 2013).
(a) The straight-line method:
Annual depreciation = (Cost – salvage value)/Estimated useful life
= ($65,000 – $5,000)/6
= $10,000
(b) The sum-of-digits method:
Estimated useful life = 6 years
Sum-of-the-years’-digits method= 21 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6)
Depreciation for 2011 = $65,000 x 4/21 = $12,380.95
Note: $65,000 is the depreciable cost (cost – salvage value).
(c) The declining-balance method:
Straight-line rate = 0.17 (1/6)
Declining rate = 0.17

(d) The units-of-production method:
Estimated total truck to be driven = 246 000 kilometers
Thus, depreciation per service hour = $65,000/246,000 = 0.26 kilometers

(a) Identifying the research expenditure and development expenditure recognized as an expense in 2013:
In addition, $50,000 is mainly expected to the overall expenditure, which is conducted on both development and research. Moreover, $40,000 is mainly conducted on research expenditure, while $10,000 is mainly conducted in development of expenditure.
(b) Depicting the research and development expenditure recognized as an expense in 2014:
The overall $12,000 must be recognized, as the expenditure for conducting in research and development.
(c) Stating the expenditure carried forward and reported in financial position at the end of 2013 and 2014:
During 2013, there is no carried forward expenditure was reported in balance sheet, while in 2014 $60,000 was mainly identified as the carried forward expenditure. According to the AASB138 restatements of costs previously expensed is not taken into consideration, which is why $10,000 is development expenditure conducted in 2013 cannot be added.
(d) Preparing journal entries for the amortization of deferred costs in 2015 and 2016:
