On January 1, 1978, the purchasing engineer of a Cement Co. purchased a new machine at a cost of140,000. Depreciation has been computed by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful lifeof five years and residual scrap value of 12,800. On January 2, 1981, extraordinary repairs (which werealmost equivalent to a rebuilding of machinery) were performed at a cost of 30,400. Because of thethorough going nature of these repairs, the normal life of the machinery was extended materially.
