Petes Petroleum, Inc., an SEC registrant with a calendar year-end, is in the business of constructing and operating offs] lore oil platforms. Petes Petroleum is required legally to dismantle and remove the platforms at the end of their useful lives, which is estimated to be 10 years. On January 1, 2019, Pete constructed and began operating an offshore oil platform off the coast of Brazil. The total capitalized cost to construct the platform was 3,700,000. In addition, while the future cost of dismantling the oil platform is difficult to estimate, Pete believes there is a 40% chance that the future cost will be 1,425,000, a 40% chance it will be 1,650,000, and a 20% chance that it will cost 2,125,000. The appropriate discount rate is 12%, and Pete uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that Pete should record in 2019 related to the oil platform. 2. Prepare an amortization schedule for the asset retirement obligation. 3. Next Level Prepare a table showing the effect of accounting for the asset retirement obligation on assets, liabilities, shareholders equity, and net income relative to accounting for the associated costs at the end of the assets service life when the expenditure is made.
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.
On May 10, 2019, Horan Company purchased equipment for 25,000. The equipment has an estimated service life of 5 years and zero residual value. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used. Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 for each of the following four alternatives: 1. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest day. (Use 12 months of 30 days each and round the daily depreciation rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest month. Assets purchased in the first half of the month are considered owned for the whole month. 3. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole year. Assets purchased in the first half of the year are considered owned for the whole year. 4. Horan records one-half years depreciation expense on all assets purchased during the year.
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.
