b.Why are expenditures on equipment andother fixed assets sometimes capitalized (treated as an asset) andother times expensed?
2.Equipment acquired at the beginningof the year at a cost of $440,000 has an estimated residual valueof $25,000 and an estimated useful life of 8 years. Straight-linedepreciation is used. Determine (a) the total amount to bedepreciated over the life of the asset, (b) the amount ofdepreciation each year, (c) the journal entry to record the firstyear’s depreciation, (d) the book value of the asset at the end ofthe first year.
3.A tractor acquired at a cost of$275,000 has an estimated residual value of $39,000, an estimateduseful life of 40,000 hours, and was operated 2,660 hours duringthe first year. Determine (a) the total amount to be depreciatedover the life of the asset, (b) the amount of depreciation for theyear, (c) the journal entry to record the year’s depreciation, (d)the book value of the asset at the end of the first year, (e)explain why units of output may be preferred overstraight line as a method of depreciating the tractor.
4. Equipment acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of$280,000 has an estimated residual value of $45,000 and anestimated useful life of 16 years. Determine: (a) thedouble-declining-balance rate, (b) the double-declining-balancedepreciation for the first year, (c) the journal entry to recordthe first year’s depreciation, (d) the book value at the end of thefirst year, (e) explain the advantages double-declining-balance may have over straight line in depreciatingassets.
5. A truck with a cost of $82,000 has an estimated residualvalue of $16,000, an estimated useful life of 12 years, and isdepreciated by the straight-line method. (a) Determine the amountof the annual depreciation, (b) Assuming that at the start of theeighth year the remaining life is estimated to be six years and theresidual value is estimated to be $12,000, determine thedepreciation expense for each of the remaining six years, (c)explain why depreciation is recalculated in situations likethis.
6. Equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a costof $465,000. The equipment was depreciated using the straight-linemethod based on an estimated useful life of 15 years and anestimated residual value of $45,000.
What was the depreciation for the first year?
Assuming the equipment was sold at the end of the eighth yearfor $235,000, determine the gain or loss on the sale of theequipment.
Journalize the entry to record the sale.
7. Glacier Mining Co. acquired mineral rights for $494,000,000.The mineral deposit is estimated at 475,000,000 tons. During thecurrent year, 31,500,000 tons were mined and sold.
Determine the depletion rate.
Determine the amount of the depletion expense for the currentyear.
Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to record thedepletion expense.
Why is depletion taken on mineral rights?
8. On December 31, it was estimated that goodwill of $6,000,000was impaired. In addition, a patent with an estimated usefuleconomic life of 12 years was acquired for $1,500,000 on April1.
Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 for the impairedgoodwill.
What is goodwill?
What does it mean for goodwill to be impaired?
Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 for theamortization of the patent rights.
Why are patents and other intangible assets amortized?
