Cost Issues
Deskin Company purchased a new machine to be used in its operations. The new machine was delivered by the supplier, installed by Deskin, and placed into operation. It was purchased under a long-term payment plan for which the interest charges approximated the prevailing market rates. The estimated useful life of the new machine is 10 years, and its estimated residual (salvage) value is significant. Normal maintenance was performed to keep the new machine in usable condition.
Deskin also added a wing to the manufacturing building that it owns. The addition is an integral part of the building. Furthermore, Deskin made significant leasehold improvements to office space used as corporate headquarters.
Required:
- 1. What costs should Deskin capitalize for the new machine?
- 2. Explain how Deskin should account for the normal maintenance performed on the new machine.
- 3. Explain how Deskin should account for the wing added to the manufacturing building. Where should the added wing be reported on Deskin’s financial statements?
- 4. Explain how Deskin should account for the leasehold improvements made to its office space. Where should the leasehold improvements be reported on Deskin’s financial statements?

- IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years. On January 1, 20-2, a stronger blade to improve performance was installed in Jackhammer A for 800 cash and the compressor was replaced in Jackhammer B for 200 cash. The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Jackhammers A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each jackhammer for 20-2 through 20-4.arrow_forwardCan someone tell me what the Annual production (units) and the Depreciation expense is on this problem please?arrow_forwardHansabenarrow_forward
- Power to a remote transmitting station is provided by a Diesel-generator unit. The original cost of the unit is 65,000. It costs 2,000 to ship the unit to the job site. An additional cost of 3,000 was incurred for installation. (a) Determine the annual depreciation cost by the sinking fund method, if the unit has an expected life of 10 years. The salvage value of the unit at the end of its life was estimated at 5000. (b) Determine the annual depreciation cost by the sinking fund method. Assume that the annual charge for depreciation was deposited in a fund drawing compound interest at the rate of 5%.arrow_forwardDonovan Resources Group has been in its plant facility for 15 years.

- Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project of replacing a control device. This old control device has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, which is more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation and shipping costs will total $16,000.
