CHAPTER 9
PLANT ASSETS, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Cost of Plant Assets
Example 1: On March 1, 2021, Westmorlan Company acquired real estate on which it planned to construct a
small office building. The company paid $75,000 in cash. An old warehouse on the property was razed at a cost of
$8,600; the salvaged materials were sold for $1,700. Additional expenditures before construction began included
$1,100 attorney's fee for work concerning the land purchase, $5,000 real estate broker's fee, $7,800 architect's fee,
and $14,000 to put in driveways and a parking lot. What is the cost of the land?
Example 2: Lofton Company purchased a delivery truck. The total cash payment was $27,900, including the following items.
Negotiated purchase price
$24,000
Installation of special shelving
1,100
Painting and lettering
900
Motor vehicle license

$27,900
What is the cost of truck? Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase. 1
Depreciation
Three methods of recognizing depreciation are (a) straight-line, (b) units-of-activity, and (c) declining-balance.
Straight-Line Method
The formula for computing annual depreciation expense is:
(Cost-Salvage Value) ÷ Useful Life (in years) = Depreciation Expense
Example 3: Benson Company purchased a delivery truck for $11,000 on January 1 with an estimated salvage value
of $1,000 at the end of its four-year service life. Calculate the annual depreciation.
Annual depreciation is $2,500 [($11,000 – $1,000 ÷ 4)].
Units-of-Activity Method
The formulas for computing depreciation expense are:
Depreciable Cost ÷ Total Units of Activity = Depreciable Cost per Unit
Depreciable Cost per Unit X Units of Activity during the Year = Depreciation Expense
Example 4: Yello Bus Lines uses the units-of-activity method in depreciating its buses. One bus was purchased on
January 1, 2022, at a cost of $148,000. Over its 4-year useful life, the bus is expected to be driven 100,000 miles.
Salvage value is expected to be $8,000. Prepare a depreciation schedule assuming actual mileage was: 2022, 26,000; 2023, 32,000; 2024, 25,000; and 2025, 17,000.
Declining-Balance Method
The formula for computing depreciation expense is:
Book Value at Beginning of Year X Declining-Balance Rate = Depreciation Expense
Book Value at Beginning of Year × ( 2/useful life in years) = Depreciation Expense
Book Value at Beginning of Year – Salvage Value =Last Year Depreciation Expense
Example 5: Corales Company acquires a delivery truck at a cost of $38,000. The truck is expected to have a
salvage value of $2,000 at the end of its 4-year useful life. Assuming the declining-balance depreciation rate is
double the straight-line rate, compute annual depreciation for the first and second years under the declining-
balance method.
2
Example 6: Rottino Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2021, at a cost of $150,000. The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $12,000. The machine is expected to be used for 10,000 working hours during its 5-year life.
Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods for the year indicated.
(a) Straight-line for 2021.
(b) Units-of-activity for 2021, assuming machine usage was 1,700 hours.
(c) Declining-balance using double the straight-line rate for 2021 and 2022.
Example 7: Linton Company purchased a delivery truck for $34,000 on January 1, 2021. The truck has an expected salvage value of $2,000, and is expected to be driven 100,000 miles over its estimated useful life of 8 years. Actual miles driven were 15,000 in 2021 and 12,000 in 2022.
Instructions:
(a) Compute depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-
activity method, and (3) the double-declining-balance method.
(b) Assume that Linton uses the straight-line method.
1. Prepare the journal entry to record 2021 depreciation. 2. Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet.

Example 8: On January 1, 2021, Evers Company purchased a machine for use in its production process. The recorded cost of this machine was $180,000. Evers estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $10,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Evers should record for the machine each year of its useful life under the following assumptions.
1) Evers uses the straight-line method of depreciation. 2) Evers uses the declining-balance method. The rate used is twice the straight-line rate.
3) Evers uses the units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of the machine is 125,000 units.
Actual usage is as follows: 2021, 45,000 units; 2022, 35,000 units; 2023, 25,000 units; 2024, 20,000 units.

Revising Periodic Depreciation
Example 9: On January 1, 2021, the Morgantown Company ledger shows Equipment $32,000 and Accumulated
Depreciation—Equipment $9,000. The depreciation resulted from using the straight-line method with a useful life
of 10 years and a salvage value of $2,000. On this date, the company concludes that the equipment has a
remaining useful life of only 4 years with the same salvage value. Compute the revised annual depreciation.

Expenditures during Useful Life
Ordinary repairs
are debited to Maintenance and Repairs Expense as incurred
Additions and improvements are debited to the specific plant assets Example 10: Flaherty Company had the following two transactions related to its delivery truck.
1. Paid $45 for an oil change.
2. Paid $400 to install a special gear unit, which increases the operating efficiency of the truck.
Prepare Flaherty's journal entries to record these two transactions.
Plant Asset Disposals
Example 11: Gunkelson Company sells equipment on September 30, 2021, for $18,000 cash. The equipment
originally cost $72,000 and as of January 1, 2021, had accumulated depreciation of $42,000. Depreciation for the
first 9 months of 2021 is $5,250. Prepare the journal entries to (a) update depreciation to September 30, 2021, and
(b) record the sale of the equipment.

Natural Resources
Depletion
is the systematic write-off of the cost of natural resources. The
units-of-activity method is generally
used to compute depletion. The formulas for computing depletion expense are:
Total Cost minus Salvage Value ÷ Total Estimated Units = Depletion Cost per Unit.
Depletion Cost per Unit X Number of Units Extracted and Sold = Depletion Expense.
Example 13: Franceour Mining Co. purchased for $7 million a mine that is estimated to have 35 million tons of ore and no salvage value. In the first year, 5 million tons of ore are extracted and sold.
(a) Prepare the journal entry to record depletion expense for the first year.
(b) Show how this mine is reported on the balance sheet at the end of the first year.
Deplection cost per unit= 7M/35= 0.2

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets: Patents
Copyrights
Trademark or Trade name
Franchise
Goodwill
The systematic write-off of an intangible asset is referred to as amortization. To record amortization,
Amortization Expense is debited and the specific intangible asset is credited. Amortization is typically
computed on a straight-line basis.
Example 14: Gill Company, organized in 2021, has the following transactions related to intangible assets.

Purchased patent (7-year life)

that date.
