Concept explainers
(a)
Fixed assets:
Fixed assets are long lived economic resources which are owned by the company. Fixed asset accounts are increased by the debits and decreased by the credits. Thus, fixed asset accounts normally show debit balances (
Depreciation is permanent decreases in the monetary value of an asset over the time period due to use, wear and tear or obsolescence. It is the process of allocating (allocation concept) the cost of an asset to expense over its useful life. Depreciation expense is the amount of depreciation that is reported (expenses) on the income statement.
Accumulated depreciation refers to the amount of depreciation that is subtracted from the value of assets in the balance sheet over a period of time.
To determine: The book value of equipment.
(b)
To explain: Whether the balance of accumulated depreciation indicates the equipment’s loss of value.

- Estimate the average total estimated useful life of depreciable property, plant, and equipment. Starbucks reports 580.6 million of depreciation and amortization in the statement of cash flows, of which 4.5 million relates to amortization of limited-life intangible assets. Does the estimate reconcile with stated accounting policy on useful lives for property, plant, and equipment? Explain.arrow_forwardWhen depreciation is recorded each period, what account is debited? a. Depreciation Expense b. Cash c. Accumulated Depreciation d. The fixed asset account involved Use the following information for Multiple-Choice Questions 7-4 through 7-6: Cox Inc. acquired a machine for on January 1, 2019. The machine has a salvage value of $20,000 and a 5-year useful life. Cox expects the machine to run for 15,000 machine hours. The machine was actually used for 4,200 hours in 2019 and 3,450 hours in 2020.arrow_forwardCharacteristics of Depreciation Methods Below is a common list of depreciation methods and characteristics related to depreciation. Depreciation Methods a. Straight-line depreciation method b. Declining balance depreciation method c. Units-of-production depreciation method when actual units produced increases over the life of the asset Characteristics 1. Results in depreciation expense that decreases over the life of the asset. 2. Results in depreciation expense that increases over the life of the asset. 3. Allocates the same amount of cost to each period of a depreciable assets life. 4. Calculated by multiplying a constant depreciation rate by depreciable cost. 5. Calculated by applying a constant depreciation rate to the assets book value at the beginning of the period. 6. Results in lowest income taxes in early years of the assets life. 7. Consistent with the matching principle. Required: Match one or more of the depreciation methods with each characteristic.arrow_forward

- A property with a depreciable cost of ₱5,600,000 with original residual value of ₱200,000 after 15 years of useful life, had been revalued at a replacement cost of ₱6,500,000 with a residual of ₱50,000. About 1/3 of the asset's life had expired and the straight line method for depreciation is used. 1. Compute for the revaluation surplus and provide the correct journal entry. 2. What is the age of the asset in years?arrow_forwardPlace T or F in front of each of the following statements. 1. The straight-line method of depreciation is based on the assumption that depreciation expense can be regarded as a constant function of time. 2. Plant assets should be written down (below cost) when their market value has declined temporarily. 3. The accounting profession has developed specifically recommended procedures for recording appraisal increases with respect to plant assets. 4. An asset's cost minus its accumulated depreciation equals its book value. 5. The sum-of-the-years'-digits method of depreciation ignores salvage value in the computation of an asset's depreciable base. 6. When using the double-declining balance method of determining depreciation, a declining percentage is applied to a constant book value. 7. The book value of plant assets initially declines more rapidly under decreasing-charge methods than under the straight-line method. 8. Accounting depreciation is computed by…arrow_forwardA fixed asset with a cost of $30,192 and accumulated depreciation of $27,172.80 is sold for $5,132.64.
