When acquired in 2013, the rig cost $450,000 and was expected to remain in service for 10 years or 1,000,000 miles. Estimated residual value was $120,000. The truck was driven 82,000 miles in 2013, 122,000 miles in 2014, and 162,000 miles in 2015. After 39,000 miles, on March 15, 2016, the company traded in the Mack truck for a less expensive Freightliner. Pact also paid cash of $27,000. Fair market value of the Mack truck was equal to its net book value on me date of the trade.

- Cost Issues Deskin Company purchased a new machine to be used in its operations. The new machine was delivered by the supplier, installed by Deskin, and placed into operation. It was purchased under a long-term payment plan for which the interest charges approximated the prevailing market rates. The estimated useful life of the new machine is 10 years, and its estimated residual (salvage) value is significant. Normal maintenance was performed to keep the new machine in usable condition. Deskin also added a wing to the manufacturing building that it owns. The addition is an integral part of the building. Furthermore, Deskin made significant leasehold improvements to office space used as corporate headquarters. Required: 1. What costs should Deskin capitalize for the new machine? 2. Explain how Deskin should account for the normal maintenance performed on the new machine. 3. Explain how Deskin should account for the wing added to the manufacturing building. Where should the added wing be reported on Deskins financial statements? 4. Explain how Deskin should account for the leasehold improvements made to its office space. Where should the leasehold improvements be reported on Deskins financial statements?arrow_forwardWorking Backward: Depreciation Polk Corp. purchased new store fixtures for $55,000 on January 31, 2014. Polk depreciates assets using the straight-line method and estimated a salvage value for the machine of $5,000. On its December 31, 2016, balance sheet, Polk reported the following: Required What is the yearly amount of depreciation expense for the store fixtures? What is the estimated useful life in years for the store fixtures? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardUse the information in Problem A-1 to solve this problem. Assume the delivery van is expected to have a useful life of 100,000 miles (Year 1, 40,000 miles; Year 2, 30,000 miles; Year 3, 20,000 miles; Year 4, 10,000 miles). Required Prepare a schedule of depreciation using the units-of-production method. Check Figure Year 3 depreciation, 3,200 PROBLEM A-1 A delivery van was bought for 18,000. The estimated life of the van is four years. The trade-in value at the end of four years is estimated to be 2,000.arrow_forward
- Cost of Asset and Depreciation Method Heist Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, and uses the 150%-declining-balance depreciation method. The machine has an expected life of 10 years and an expected residual value of 5,000. The following costs relate to the acquisition and use of the machine during the first year of its operations: Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020. 2. Next Level What is the effect on the financial statements if the company used the straight-line method instead of the 150%-declining-balance method?arrow_forwardChoice Among Depreciation Methods Walnut Ridge Production Inc. purchased a new computerized video editing machine at a cost of $450,000. The System has a residual value of $64,000 and an expected life of 5 years. Required: 1. Compute depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for the first 3 years of the machines life using the (a) straight-line method and (b) double-declining-balance method. 2. Which method would produce the largest income in the first, second, and third years of the assets life? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Why might the controller of Walnut Ridge Production be interested in the effect of choosing a depreciation method? Evaluate the legitimacy of these interests.arrow_forwardChange in Estimate Assume that Bloomer Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2016, for $80,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of nine years and a residual value of $8,000. Bloomer has chosen to use the straight-line method of depreciation. On January 1, 2018, Bloomer discovered that the machine would not be useful beyond December 31, 2021, and estimated its value at that time to be $2,000. Required Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the asset for each year 2016 to 2021. Was the depreciation recorded wrong in 2016 and 2017? If so, why was it not corrected?arrow_forward
- 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. Dunedin buys equipment frequently and wants to print a depreciation schedule for each assets life. Review the worksheet called DEPREC that follows these requirements. Since some assets acquired are depreciated by straight-line, others by units of production, and others by double-declining balance, DEPREC shows all three methods. You are to use this worksheet to prepare depreciation schedules for the new machine.arrow_forwardMontello 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.arrow_forward
