Comprehensive: Acquisition, Subsequent Expenditures, and Depreciation On January 2, 2019, Lapar Corporation purchased a machine for 50,000. Lapar paid shipping expenses of 500, as well as installation costs of 1,200. The company estimated that the machine would have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of 3,000. On January 1, 2020, Lapar made additions costing 3,600 to the machine in order to comply with pollution-control ordinances. These additions neither prolonged the life of the machine nor increased the residual value. Required: 1. If Lapar records depreciation expense under the straight-line method, how much is the depreciation expense for 2020? 2. Assume Lapar determines the machine has three significant components as shown below. If Lapar uses IFRS, what is the amount of depreciation expense that would be recorded?
Cost Issues Deskin Company purchased a new machine to be used in its operations. The new machine was delivered by the supplier, installed by Deskin, and placed into operation. It was purchased under a long-term payment plan for which the interest charges approximated the prevailing market rates. The estimated useful life of the new machine is 10 years, and its estimated residual (salvage) value is significant. Normal maintenance was performed to keep the new machine in usable condition. Deskin also added a wing to the manufacturing building that it owns. The addition is an integral part of the building. Furthermore, Deskin made significant leasehold improvements to office space used as corporate headquarters. Required: 1. What costs should Deskin capitalize for the new machine? 2. Explain how Deskin should account for the normal maintenance performed on the new machine. 3. Explain how Deskin should account for the wing added to the manufacturing building. Where should the added wing be reported on Deskins financial statements? 4. Explain how Deskin should account for the leasehold improvements made to its office space. Where should the leasehold improvements be reported on Deskins financial statements?
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. With DEPREC5 still on the screen, click the Chart sheet tab. This chart shows the accumulated depreciation under all three depreciation methods. Identify below the depreciation method that each represents. Series 1 _____________________ Series 2 _____________________ Series 3 _____________________ When the assignment is complete, close the file without saving it again. Worksheet. The problem thus far has assumed that assets are depreciated a full year in the year acquired. Normally, depreciation begins in the month acquired. For example, an asset acquired at the beginning of April is depreciated for only nine months in the year of acquisition. Modify the DEPREC2 worksheet to include the month of acquisition as an additional item of input. To demonstrate proper handling of this factor on the depreciation schedule, modify the formulas for the first two years. Some of the formulas may not actually need to be revised. Do not modify the formulas for Years 3 through 8 and ignore the numbers shown in those years. Some will be incorrect as will be some of the totals. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as DEPRECT. Hint: Insert the month in row 6 of the Data Section specifying the month by a number (e.g., April is the fourth month of the year). Redo the formulas for Years 1 and 2. For the units of production method, assume no change in the estimated hours for both years. Chart. Using the DEPREC5 file, prepare a line chart or XY chart that plots annual depreciation expense under all three depreciation methods. No Chart Data Table is needed; use the range B29 to E36 on the worksheet as a basis for preparing the chart if you prepare an XY chart. Use C29 to E36 if you prepare a line chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as DEPREC5. Print the chart.
Expenditures After Acquisition Roanoke Manufacturing placed a robotic arm on a large assembly machine on January 1, 2019. At that time, the assembly machine was expected to last another 3 years. The following information is available concerning the assembly machine. The robotic arm cost $225,000 and was expected to extend the useful life of the machine by 3 years. Therefore, the useful life of the assembly machine, after the arm replacement, is 6 years. The assembly machine is expected to have a residual value of $120,000 at the end of its useful life. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the addition of the robotic arm. 2. Compute 2019 depreciation expense for the machine using the straight-line method, and prepare the necessary journal entry. 3. What is the book value of the machine at the end of 2019? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION What would have been the effect on the financial statements if Roanoke had expensed the addition of the robotic arm?
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. Dunedin buys equipment frequently and wants to print a depreciation schedule for each assets life. Review the worksheet called DEPREC that follows these requirements. Since some assets acquired are depreciated by straight-line, others by units of production, and others by double-declining balance, DEPREC shows all three methods. You are to use this worksheet to prepare depreciation schedules for the new machine.
Change in Estimate Assume that Bloomer Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2016, for $80,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of nine years and a residual value of $8,000. Bloomer has chosen to use the straight-line method of depreciation. On January 1, 2018, Bloomer discovered that the machine would not be useful beyond December 31, 2021, and estimated its value at that time to be $2,000. Required Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the asset for each year 2016 to 2021. Was the depreciation recorded wrong in 2016 and 2017? If so, why was it not corrected?
On January 1, 2014, Klinefelter Company purchased a building for 520,000. The building had an estimated life of 20 years and an estimated residual value of 20,000. The company has been depreciating the building using straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of 2020, the following independent situations occur: a. The company estimates that the building has a remaining life of 10 years (for a total of 16 years). b. The company changes to the sum-of-the-years-digits method. c. The company discovers that it had ignored the estimated residual value in the computation of the annual depreciation each year. Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all journal entries related to the building for 2020. Ignore income taxes.
Hathaway Company purchased a copying machine for 8,700 on October 1, 2019. The machines residual value was 500 and its expected service life was 5 years. Hathaway computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole month. Required: 1. Compute depredation expense (rounded to the nearest dollar) for 2019 and 2020 using the: a. straight-line method b. sum-of-the-years-digits method c. double-declining-balance method 2. Next Level Which method produces the highest book value at the end of 2020? 3. Next Level Which method produces the highest charge to income in 2020? 4. Next Level Over the life of the asset, which method produces the greatest amount of depreciation expense?
Urquhart Global purchases a building to house its administrative offices for $500,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $45,000, and it is expected to be used for forty years. Urquhart uses the straight-line depreciation method for all buildings. After ten years of recording depreciation, Urquhart determines that the building will be useful for a total of fifty years instead of forty. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first ten years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final forty years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year eleven.
Kam Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, for 20,000. The machine had an expected life of 8 years and a residual value of 300. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation is used. Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life and book value at the end of each year. 2. Assuming that the company has a policy of always changing to the straight-line method at the midpoint of the assets life, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life. 3. Assuming that the company always changes to the straight-line method at the beginning of the year when the annual straight-line amount exceeds the double-declining-balance amount, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life.
