Question

XYZ acquired for a lumpsum price of P6,000,000 a piece of land and
the building on it. The land and building have fair values of
P4,2000,000 and P2,800,000 respectively. The building is still usable
but the entity plans to demolish it and construct a new building.
Later, total demolition cost incurred was P400,000 but scraps were
gathered and sold for P50,000. The new building had a total
construction cost of P7,000,000, useful life of 25 years, and a
salvage value of P500,000.

 

A. What would be the depreciation expense per year for the
new building?
B. Assuming that a new wing was constructed 5 years later for
a total cost of P1,000,000 and it is expected to have a useful
life of 15 years, how much would the depreciation expense
per year be from the expanded building?
