Explanation of Solution

Determination of cost:

The procurement or acquisition cost of “property, plant and equipment” comprises of all costs that are required to obtain the benefits to be derived from the asset.

Calculate the cost assigned to land:

Costassignedtoland=Totalcost×Pecentageofappraisal=$220,000(4)×40%(1)=$88,000

Therefore, the cost assigned to land is $88,000.

Calculate the cost assigned to building:

Costassignedtobuilding=Totalcost×Pecentageofappraisal=$220,000(4)×50%(2)=$110,000

Therefore, the cost assigned to building is $110,000.

Calculate the cost assigned to equipment:

Costassignedtoequipment=Totalcost×Pecentageofappraisal=$220,000(4)×10%(3)=$22,000

Therefore, the cost assigned to equipment is $22,000.

Working notes:

(1) Calculate the percentage of appraisal for land:

Percentageofappraisalforland}=AppraisalvalueoflandTotalappraisalvalue×100=$100,000$250,000×100=40%

(2) Calculate the percentage of appraisal for building:

Percentageofappraisalforbuilding}=AppraisalvalueofbuildingTotalappraisalvalue×100=$125,000$250,000×100=50%

(3) Calculate the percentage of appraisal for equipment:

Percentageofappraisalforequipment}=AppraisalvalueofequipmentTotalappraisalvalue×100=$25,000$250,000×100=10%

(4) Calculate the amount of total cost:

      Revaluation surplus  22,000
 (To record the fair value of land)  
    

Table (2)

  • Land is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit land account by $22,000.
  • Revaluation surplus is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is decreased. Therefore, debit revaluation surplus account by $22,000.

DateAccount titles and explanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Accumulated depreciation (5) 6,000 
      Building  6,000
 (To record the depreciation for building)

  • Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account and it is decreased. Therefore, debit accumulated depreciation account by $6,000.
  • Building is an asset and it is decreased. Therefore, credit building account by $6,000.

Prepare journal entry to record the increase in value of building:

DateAccount titles and explanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Building (6) 2,000 
      Revaluation surplus  2,000
 (To record the increase in value of building)  
    

Table (4)

  • Revaluation surplus is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is increased. Therefore, credit revaluation surplus account by $2,000.

Prepare journal entry with regard to equipment and record the decrease in the value of equipment:

DateAccount titles and explanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Loss on impairment (7) 3,000 
      Equipment  3,000
 (To record the decrease in value of equipment)  
    

Table (5)

  • Loss on impairment is a component of stockholders’ equity and it is decreased. Therefore, debit loss on impairment account by $3,000.
  • Equipment is an asset and it is decreased. Therefore, credit equipment account by $3,000.
