Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one it expects to use the truck for 26,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.
Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one the company expects the truck to be driven for 26,000 miles; in year two, 30,000 miles; and in year three, 40,000 miles. Consider how the purchase of the truck will impact Montellos depreciation expense each year and what the trucks book value will be each year after depreciation expense is recorded.
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.
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.
During the current year, Arkells Inc. made the following expenditures relating to plant machinery. Renovated seven machines for $250,000 to improve efficiency in production of their remaining useful life of eight years Low-cost repairs throughout the year totaled $79,000 Replaced a broken gear on a machine for $6,000 A. What amount should be expensed during the period? B. What amount should be capitalized during the period?
Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?
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.
Chapman Inc. purchased a piece of equipment in 2018. Chapman depreciated the equipment on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years and used a residual value of $12,000. Chapmans depreciation expense for 2019 was $11,000. What was the original cost of the building? a. $98,000 b. $110,000 c. $122,000 d. $134,000
Sand River Sales has a fork truck used in its warehouse operations. The truck had an original useful life of five years.
