On June 30, 2021, Rosetta Granite purchased equipment for $120,000. The estimated useful life of the equipment is eight years and no residual value is anticipated. An important component of the equipment is a specialized highspeed drill that will need to be replaced in four years. The $20,000 cost of the drill is included in the $120,000 cost of the equipment. Rosetta uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment.Required:1. Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 applying the typical U.S. GAAP treatment.2. Repeat requirement 1 applying IFRS.
1. The Fairy Company purchased a site for limestone quarry for P 100,000 on January 2, 2020. It estimates that the quarry will yield 400,000 tons of limestone. It estimates that its retirement obligation has a fair value of P 20,000 after which the land can be sold for P 10,000. In 2020, 80,000 tons were quarried and 60,000 tons sold. Cost of production (excluding depletion) are P4 per ton. Compute the total cost of goods sold for 2020.
Annual depreciation expense on a building purchased a few years ago (using the straight-line method) is $4,800. The cost of the building was $96,000. The current book value of the equipment (January 1, 2021) is $81,600. At the time of purchase, the asset was estimated to have a zero salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the company decided to reduce the original useful life by 25% and to establish a salvage value of $4,800. The firm also decided double-declining-balance depreciation was more appropriate. Ignore tax effects.
1. Prepare the journal entry, if any, to report the accounting change under GAAP.
2. Record the annual depreciation for 2021.
