Land and buildings $726 $361
Machinery, equipment, and internal-use software 595 470
Office furniture and equipment 94 81
Other fixed assets related to leases 760 569
Accumulated depreciation and amortization 894 644

Required:

(1) Compute the book value of the fixed assets for the 2010 and 2009 and explain the differences, if any.

(2) Would you normally expect the book value of fixed assets to increase or decrease during the year?
Answer (1) Property, Plant, and Equipment (in millions):

Current Preceding
Year Year

Land and buildings $726 $361

Machinery, equipment, and internal-use software 595 470
Office furniture and equipment 94 81
Other fixed assets related to leases 760 569
$2,175 $1,481
Less accumulated depreciation 894 644
Book value $1,281 $837

A comparison of the book values of the current and preceding years indicates that they increased. A comparison
of the total cost and accumulated depreciation reveals that Harrison purchased $694 million ($2,175 – $1,481) of
additional fixed assets, which was offset by the additional depreciation expense of $250 million ($894 – $644)
taken during the current year.

(2) The book value of fixed assets should normally increase during the year. Although additional depreciation
expense will reduce the book value, most companies invest in new assets in an amount that is at least equal to
the depreciation expense. However, during periods of economic downturn, companies purchase fewer fixed
assets, and the book value of their fixed assets may decline.

Question A number of major structural repairs completed at the beginning of the current fiscal year at a cost of $1,000,000 are
expected to extend the life of a building 10 years beyond the original estimate. The original cost of the building was $6,552,000, and it
has been depreciated by the straight-line method for 25 years. Estimated residual value is negligible and has been ignored. The
related accumulated depreciation account after the depreciation adjustment at the end of the preceding fiscal year is $4,550,000.

(a) What has the amount of annual depreciation been in past years?
(b) What was the original life estimate of the building?
(c) To what account should the $1,000,000 be debited?
(d) What is the book value of the building after the extraordinary repairs have been made?
(e) What is the expected remaining life of the building after the extraordinary repairs have been made?
(f) What is the amount of straight-line depreciation for the current year, assuming that the repairs were completed at the very
beginning of the current year? Round to the nearest dollar.

Question Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $360,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 14,000
operating hours, and a residual value of $10,000. Compute the depreciation for the first and second years of use by each of the
following methods:

(a) straight-line
(b) units-of-production (1,200 hours first year; 2,250 hours second year)
(c) declining-balance at twice the straight-line rate

(Round the answer to the nearest dollar.)

Answer 1st Year
(a) $70,000 ($360,000 - 10,000) = 350,000 ÷ 5
(b) $30,000 ($360,000 - 10,000) = ($350,000 ÷ 14,000 hours) = $25/hr × 1,200
(c) $144,000 ($360,000 × .40)

2nd Year
(a) $70,000 ($360,000 - 10,000) = 350,000 ÷ 5
(b) $56,250 ($360,000 - 10,000) = ($350,000 ÷ 14,000 hours) = $25/hr × 2,250

ending December 31 by each of the following methods:

(a) straight-line
(b) declining-balance at twice the straight-line rate
(c) units-of-production (used for 1,600 hours during the current year)

(Round the answer to the nearest dollar.)

Answer (a) $28,125 = ($240,000 - 15,000) = 225,000 ÷ 4 = 56,250 × 6/12
(b) $60,000 = ($240,000 × .50) = $120,000 × 6/12
(c) $14,400 = ($240,000 - 15,000) = ($225,000 ÷ 25,000 hours) = $9.00 × 1,600 hours

Question Determine the depreciation, for the year of acquisition and for the following year, of a fixed asset acquired on October 1 for
$500,000, with an estimated life of 5 years, and residual value of $50,000, using (a) the declining-balance method at twice the straight-
line rate and (b) the straight-line method. Assume a fiscal year ending December 31.
Answer (a) Year of acquisition: $50,000 = (500,000 × .40) = 200,000 × 3/12)
Following year: $180,000 = ($500,000 - 50,000) = 450,000 × .40
(b) Year of acquisition: $22,500 = ($500,000 - 50,000) = (450,000 ÷ 5) = 90,000 × 3/12

these assets is estimated at $10,000 after they service their 4 year service life. Golden Sales managers want to evaluate the options of
depreciation.

(a) Compute the annual straight-line depreciation and the provide the sample depreciation journal entry to be posted at the end of each
of the years.
 (b) Write the journal entries for each year of the service life for these assets with 200% declining balance method.
Answer (a)
Acquisition cost $135,000
Less residual value 10,000
Depreciable value $125,000
Divided by service life 4 years
Annual depreciation $31,250

Dec 31 Depreciation Expense Sales Equipment 31,250

Accumulated Depreciation - Sales Equipment 31,250

(b) 1st year: Acquisition cost - $135,000 × 50% = $67,500 first year depreciation
2nd year: ($135,000 - $67,500) × 50% = $33,750 second year depreciation
3rd year: ($135,000-$67,500-$33,750) × 50% = $16,875 third year depreciation
4th year: $135,000-$67,500-$33,750-16,875-$10,000 residual value = $6,875 fourth year depreciation
