Gear Company records $2,000 of depreciation under the sum-of-years-digits method in Year 9, the company's first year of operations. In Year 10, the company decides to change to the straight-line method for accounting purposes. If the straight-line method were used in Year 9, depreciation would have been $1,500. Depreciation in Year 10 under the straight-line method is $1,800 (depreciated based on the book value on January 1 of Year 10). The tax rate is 25%. Income from continuing operations before tax and before deducting depreciation in Year 10 is $12,000. Provide the Year 10 entry to record this change and calculate Year 10 net income.

Bailand purchased the building 4 years ago and has used straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the fifth year (before it records depreciation expense for the year), the following independent situations occur:1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years).2. Bailand changes to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method.3. Bailand discovers that the estimated residual value has been ignored in the computation of depreciation expense. 1. Bailand estimates that the asset has 8 years’ life remaining (for a total of 12 years). Prepare the journal entry on December 31 to record depreciation in the fifth year after the change in estimate.

(A) Rifhan products use straight-line depreciation on all its depreciable assets. The accounts are adjusted and closed at the end of each calendar year. On January 4, 1999, the corporation purchased machinery for cash at a cost of $90,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with a residual value of $22,000. Depreciation for partial years is recorded to the nearest full month. In 2001, after almost 2 years of experience with the equipment, management decided that the estimated life of the equipment should be revised from 10 years to 7 years. No change was made in the estimate of residual value. The revised estimate of useful life was decided on prior to recording to depreciation for the period ended December 31, 2001. Instructions: Prepare journal entries in chronological order for the above events, beginning with the purchase of the machinery on January 4, 1999. Show separately the depreciation for 1999, 2000, and 2001 and 2002. (B) During the current year, Matrix Homes…
Martinez Company owns a building that appears on its prior year-end balance sheet at its original $572,000 cost less $429,000 accumulated depreciation. The building is depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a 20-year life and no salvage value. During the first week in January of the current calendar year, major structural repairs are completed on the building at a $68,350 cost. The repairs extend its useful life for 5 years beyond the 20 years originally estimated. 1. Determine the building's age (plant asset age) as of the prior year-end balance sheet date. 2.

Several years ago, a company acquired an asset at a cost of $400,000. Last year, the company recognized an impairment loss of $25,000 and properly reduced the asset's book value from $250,000 to $225,000. Using the asset's new base of $225,000, the company calculates depreciation for the current year to be $10,000, bringing the book value down to $215,000. However, the company has also determined that the asset's fair value has recovered and is now estimated to be $260,000. How should the company measure the asset on its current balance sheet? O The company should reverse the prior impairment and measure the asset at its fair value prior to the initial impairment of $250,000. O The company should not reverse the impairment and should depreciate the asset by $10,000 to a new book value of $215,000. The company should not reverse the impairment and should not depreciate the asset further, leaving the book value at $225,000. O The company should reverse the prior impairment and measure…
