Concept explainers
a)
Disposal of Assets:
Disposal is an activity of selling the worn-out assets that is no longer in need for the business, in return of some consideration. Disposal may be made in any of the following situations:
- Disposal with no gain no loss: When the asset is disposed with no consideration received.
- Disposal with gain: When the asset is disposed for more than its book value (original cost less
accumulated depreciation ).
- Disposal with loss: When the asset is disposed for less than its book value.
Straight-line Depreciation:
Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:
the annual amount of depreciation for the years1-3 using the straight-line method of depreciation.

- Cost of Asset and Depreciation Method Heist Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, and uses the 150%-declining-balance depreciation method. The machine has an expected life of 10 years and an expected residual value of 5,000. The following costs relate to the acquisition and use of the machine during the first year of its operations: Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020. 2. Next Level What is the effect on the financial statements if the company used the straight-line method instead of the 150%-declining-balance method?arrow_forwardChange in Estimate Assume that Bloomer Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2016, for $80,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of nine years and a residual value of $8,000. Bloomer has chosen to use the straight-line method of depreciation. On January 1, 2018, Bloomer discovered that the machine would not be useful beyond December 31, 2021, and estimated its value at that time to be $2,000. Required Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the asset for each year 2016 to 2021. Was the depreciation recorded wrong in 2016 and 2017? If so, why was it not corrected?arrow_forwardDepreciation Methods Sorter Company purchased equipment for 200,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and an estimated residual value of 20,000. Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 under each of the following methods: 1. straight-line 2. sum-of-the-years-digits 3. double-declining-balance 4. Next Level What effect does the depreciation of the equipment have on the analysis of rate of return?arrow_forward
- Depreciation Methods Nickle Company purchased three identical assets for 17,000 on January 2, 2019. Each asset has an expected residual value of 1,000. The depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 is shown below for three assets: Required: 1. Next Level Which depreciation method is the company using for each asset? 2. Compute the depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 for each asset.arrow_forwardRevision of Depreciation On January 1, 2017, Blizzards-R-Us purchased a snow-blowing machine for $125,000. The machine was expected to have a residual value of $12,000 at the end of its 5-year useful life. On January 1, 2019, Blizzards-R-Us concluded that the machine would have a remaining useful life of 6 years with a residual value of $3,600. Required: 1. Determine the revised annual depreciation expense for 2019 using the straight-line method. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION How does the revision in depreciation affect the Blizzards-R-Us financial statements?arrow_forwardOn January 1, 2014, Klinefelter Company purchased a building for 520,000. The building had an estimated life of 20 years and an estimated residual value of 20,000. The company has been depreciating the building using straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of 2020, the following independent situations occur: a. The company estimates that the building has a remaining life of 10 years (for a total of 16 years). b. The company changes to the sum-of-the-years-digits method. c. The company discovers that it had ignored the estimated residual value in the computation of the annual depreciation each year. Required: For each of the independent situations, prepare all journal entries related to the building for 2020. Ignore income taxes.arrow_forward
- Group and Composite Depreciation Chcadle Company purchased a fleet of 20 delivery trucks for 8,000 each on January 2, 2019. It decided to use composite depreciation on a straight-line basis and calculated the depreciation from the following schedule: Cheadle actually retired the trucks according to the following schedule (assume each truck was retired at the beginning of the year): Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries necessary to record the preceding events. 2. Assume that the company expected all the trucks to last 4 years and be retired for 1,600 each. Using group depreciation, prepare journal entries for all 6 years, assuming the company retired the trucks as shown by the latter schedule.arrow_forwardOn May 10, 2019, Horan Company purchased equipment for 25,000. The equipment has an estimated service life of 5 years and zero residual value. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used. Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 for each of the following four alternatives: 1. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest day. (Use 12 months of 30 days each and round the daily depreciation rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest month. Assets purchased in the first half of the month are considered owned for the whole month. 3. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole year. Assets purchased in the first half of the year are considered owned for the whole year. 4. Horan records one-half years depreciation expense on all assets purchased during the year.arrow_forwardKam Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, for 20,000. The machine had an expected life of 8 years and a residual value of 300. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation is used. Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life and book value at the end of each year. 2. Assuming that the company has a policy of always changing to the straight-line method at the midpoint of the assets life, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life. 3. Assuming that the company always changes to the straight-line method at the beginning of the year when the annual straight-line amount exceeds the double-declining-balance amount, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is not true about the MACRS depreciation system: A salvage value must be determined before depreciation percentages are applied to depreciable real estate. Residential rental buildings are depreciated over 27.5 years straight-line. Commercial real estate buildings are depreciated over 39 years straight-line. No matter when during the month depreciable real estate is purchased, it is considered to have been placed in service at mid-month for MACRS depreciation purposes.arrow_forwardComprehensive: Acquisition, Subsequent Expenditures, and Depreciation On January 2, 2019, Lapar Corporation purchased a machine for 50,000. Lapar paid shipping expenses of 500, as well as installation costs of 1,200. The company estimated that the machine would have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of 3,000. On January 1, 2020, Lapar made additions costing 3,600 to the machine in order to comply with pollution-control ordinances. These additions neither prolonged the life of the machine nor increased the residual value. Required: 1. If Lapar records depreciation expense under the straight-line method, how much is the depreciation expense for 2020? 2. Assume Lapar determines the machine has three significant components as shown below. If Lapar uses IFRS, what is the amount of depreciation expense that would be recorded?arrow_forwardDepreciation Methods On January 1, 2019, Loeffler Company acquired a machine at a cost of $200,000. Loeffler estimates that it will use the machine for 4 years or 8,000 machine hours. It estimates that after 4 years the machine can be sold for $20,000. Loeffler uses the machine for 2,100 and 1,800 machine hours in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Required: Compute depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using the (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining-balance, and (3) units-of-production methods of depreciation.arrow_forward
