Straight line
Double declining method of depreciation is a method of depreciation in which rate is doubled according to the useful life of an asset.
Requirement 1:
We have to determine the total of all asset mentioned.

Answer to Problem 3APSA
Particulars | Land | Building 2 | Building 3 | Land improvements 1 | Land improvements 2 |
Totals | $2,115,800 | 598,000 | 2202,000 | 390,000 | 164,000 |
.
Explanation of Solution
Allocation of purchase price | Appraised value | Percent of Total appraised value | x | Total cost of acquisition | = | Apportioned cost |
Land | 1,736,000 | 62% | 2,600,000 | 1612,000 | ||
Building2 | 644,000 | 23% | 2,600,000 | 598,000 | ||
Land improvement 1 | 420,000 | 15% | 2,600,000 | 390,000 | ||
Total | 28,00,000 | 100% | $2,600,000 | |||
Particulars | Land | Building 2 | Building 3 | Land improvements 1 | Land improvements 2 |
Purchase price | 1,612,000 | 598,000 | 0 | 390,000 | 0 |
Demolition | 328,400 | ||||
Land grading | 175,400 | ||||
New building (construction) | 0 | 0 | 2202,000 | 0 | 0 |
New improvement cost | 164,000 | ||||
Totals | $2,115,800 | 598,000 | 2202,000 | 390,000 | 164,000 |
In the above table, the appraised value of total assets is 2,800,000. We have calculated the percentage of total assets in proportion to appraised value. Thereafter, the value $2,600,000 has been apportioned in the ratio of appraised value of individual assets. After calculating individual value, the additional costs have been added to the apportioned acquisition value of respective individual asset and total value of asset has been derived.
Concept Introduction:
Journal entry is recording of all accounting transaction in a chronological order.
Straight line depreciation is a method of depreciation in which asset is depreciated over its useful life constantly. In this method depreciated is calculated by dividing cost of asset less salvage value by useful life of an asset.
Double declining method of depreciation is a method of depreciation in which rate is doubled according to the useful life of an asset.
Requirement 2:
We have to determine the journal entry for cash transaction.

Answer to Problem 3APSA
Transaction | Particulars | Amount ($) | Amount($) |
1. | Land | 2,115,000 | |
Building 2 | 598,000 | ||
Building 3 | 2,202,000 | ||
Land improvements 1 | 390,000 | ||
Land improvements 2 | 164,000 | ||
Cash | 5469,800 | ||
( to record cash transaction) |
.
Explanation of Solution
The above answer can be explained as all asset will be debited and cash account will be credited.
In this case land account, Building 2 &3 and Land improvements 1 & 2 will be debited with their respective amount and cash account will be credited with lumpsum amount.

Requirement 3:
We have to determine the journal entry for depreciation asset.

Answer to Problem 3APSA
Transaction | Particulars | Amount ($) | Amount($) |
1. | Depreciation expense- building 2 | 26,900 | |
26,900 | |||
( to record depreciation) | |||
Depreciation expense- building 3 | 72,400 | ||
Accumulated depreciation − building 3 | 72,400 | ||
( to record depreciation) | |||
Depreciation expense- land improvement 1 | 32,500 | ||
Accumulated depreciation − land improvement 1 | 32,500 | ||
( to record depreciation) | |||
Depreciation expense- land improvement 2 | 8200 | ||
Accumulated depreciation − land improvement 2 | 8200 | ||
( to record depreciation) |
Explanation of Solution
The above answer can be explained as depreciation will be calculated on asset and depreciation expense on asset will be debited and accumulated depreciation account will be credited.
Depreciation on assets can be calculated as −
Particulars | Formula | Amount |
Depreciation expense- building 2 | (598,000-60,000)/20 | 26,900 |
Depreciation expense- building 3 | (2,202,000-392000)/25 | 72,400 |
Depreciation expense- land improvement 1 | 390,000/12 | 32,500 |
Depreciation expense- land improvement 2 | 164,000/20 | 8,200 |
