Chapter 10, Problem 3BPSB

To determine

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 1:

We have to determine the total of all asset mentioned.

Answer to Problem 3BPSB

Particulars	Land	Building B	Building C	Land improvements B	Land improvements C
Totals	$1,164,500	527,000	1,458,000	155,000	103,500

Explanation of Solution

Allocation of purchase price	Appraised value	Percent of Total appraised value	x	Total cost of acquisition	=	Apportioned cost
Land	795,200	56%		1,550,000		868,000
Building B	482,800	34%		1,550,000		527,000
Land improvement B	142,000	10%		1,550,000		155,000
Total	1,419,800	100%				$1,550,000

Particulars	Land	Building B	Building C	Land improvements B	Land improvements C
Purchase price	868,000	527,000	0	155,000	0
Demolition	122,000
Land grading	174,500
New building (construction)	0	0	1458,000	0	0
New improvement cost					103,500
Totals	$1,164,500	527,000	1,458,000	155,000	103,500

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 3BPSB

Transaction	Particulars	Amount ($)	Amount($)
1.	Land	1,164,500
	Building B	527,000
	Building C	1,458,000
	Land improvements B	155,000
	Land improvements C	103,500
	Cash		3,408,000
	( 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 B &C and Land improvements B & C 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 3BPSB

Transaction	Particulars	Amount ($)	Amount($)
1.	Depreciation expense- building B	28,500
	Accumulated depreciation − building B		28,500
	( to record depreciation)
	Depreciation expense- building C	60,000
	Accumulated depreciation − building C		60,000
	( to record depreciation)
	Depreciation expense- land improvement B	31000
	Accumulated depreciation − land improvement B		31000
	( to record depreciation)
	Depreciation expense- land improvement C	10350
	Accumulated depreciation − land improvement C		10350
	( 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 −

$Depreciation=\cos t-salvagevalue/usefullifeofanasset$
