1. Prairie Airlines purchased a 747 aircraft on January 1, 2007, at a cost of $30,000,000. The
estimated useful life of the aircraft is 20 years, with an estimated residual value of $4,000,000.
On January 1, 2009 the airline revises the total estimated useful life to 15 years with a revised
residual value of $3,000,000.
Instructions
(a)
Calculate the amortization and net book value at December 31, 2008 using the straight-
line method and the double declining-balance method.
(b)
Assuming the straight-line method is used, calculate the amortization expense for the
year ended December 31, 2009.
