On January 2, 2016, Spring Company purchased land for $470,000, from which it is estimated that 360,000 tons of ore could be extracted. It estimates that the present value of the cost necessary to restore the land is $67,000, after which it could be sold for $22,000.
During 2016, Spring mined 79,000 tons and sold 59,000 tons. During 2017, Spring mined 99,000 tons and sold 109,000 tons. At the beginning of 2018, Spring spent an additional $110,000, which increased the reserves by 62,000 tons. In 2018, Spring mined 129,000 tons and sold 109,000 tons. Spring uses a FIFO cost flow assumption.

- 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_forwardCapital versus Revenue Expenditures On January 1, 2014, Jose Company purchased a building for $200,000 and a delivery truck for $20,000. The following expenditures have been incurred during 2016: • The building was painted at a cost of $5,000. • To prevent leaking, new windows were installed in the building at a cost of $10,000. • To improve production, a new conveyor system was installed at a cost of $40,000. • The delivery truck was repainted with a new company logo at a cost of $1,000. • To allow better handling of large loads, a hydraulic lift system was installed on the truck at a cost of $5,000. • The trucks engine was overhauled at a cost of $4,000. Required Determine which of those costs should be capitalized. Also record the journal entry for the capitalized costs. Assume that all costs were incurred on January 1, 2016. Determine the amount of depreciation for the year 2016. The company uses the straight-line method and depreciates the building over 25 years and the truck over six years. Assume zero residual value for all assets. How would the assets appear on the balance sheet of December 31, 2016?arrow_forwardOn April 17, 2016, the Loadstone Mining Company purchased the rights to a coal mine. The purchase price plus additional costs necessary to prepare the mine for extraction of the coal totaled $4,500,000. The company expects to extract 900,000 tons of coal during a four-year period.

- Compute depreciation under alternative methods Equipment costing $130,000 is expected to have a residual value of $10,000 at the end of its 6 years usefulness. The equipment is metered, so the number of units processed are counted. The equipment is designed to process 1million unit during its lifetime. In 2016 and 2017 the equipment processed 180,000 and 140,000 units respectively. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2016-2017 using each of the following methods: a. Straight -lineb. Double- declining balance c. Units of productionarrow_forwardStraight-Line and Units-of-Production Methods Assume that Sample Company purchased factory equipment on January 1, 2017, for $65,000. The equipment has an estimated life of five years and an estimated residual value of $6,500. Sample's accountant is considering whether to use the straight-line or the units-of-production method to depreciate the asset. Because the company is beginning a new production process, the equipment will be used to produce 10,000 units in 2017, but production subsequent to 2017 will increase by 10,000 units each year. Required: 1. Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the equipment under both methods for each of the five years of its life.

Early in 2015, roads were constructed on the land to aid in the extraction and transportation of the minded ore at a cost of P800,000. In 2015, 250,000 tons were minded and tons of ore available for mining. In 2016, 400,000 were mined and sold. What amount should be recognized as depletion expense for 2016?
