Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years.

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.
At the end of 2020, Magenta Manufacturing Company discovered that construction cost had been capitalized as a cost of the factory building in 2015 when it should have been treated as a cost of production equipment installation costs. As a result of the misclassification, the depreciation through 2018 was understated by 110,000, and depreciation for 2019 was understated by 90,000. What would be the consequences of correcting for the misclassification of the property cost? a. The taxpayer uses the FIFO inventory method, and 25% of goods produced during the period were included in the ending inventory. b. The taxpayer uses the LIFO inventory method, and no new LIFO layer was added during 2019.
Bliss Company owns an asset with an estimated life of 15 years and an estimated residual value of zero. Bliss uses the straight -line method of depreciation. At the beginning of the sixth year, the assets book value is 200,000 and Bliss changes the estimate of the assets life to 25 years, so that 20 years now remain in the assets life. Explain how this change will be accounted for in Blisss financial statements, and compute the current and future annual depreciation expense.
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.
