Analyzing and Recording Long-Lived Asset Transactions with Partial-Year Depreciation
Randy’s Restaurant Company (RRC) entered into the following transactions during a recent year.
April 1 | Purchased a new food locker for $5,000 by paying $1.000 cash and signing a $4,000 note due in six months. |
April 2 | Installed an air-conditioning system in the food locker at a cost of $3,000, purchased on account. |
April 30 | Wrote a check for the amount owed on account for the work completed on April 2. |
May 1 | A local carpentry company repaired the restaurant’s front door, for which RRC wrote a check for the full $120 cost. |
June 1 | Paid $9,120 cash for the rights to use the name and store concept created by a different restaurant that has been successful in the region. For the next four years, RRC will operate under the Mullet Restaurant name, with the slogan “business customers in the front, and partiers in the back.” |
Required:
- 1. Analyze the
accounting equation effects and record journal entries for each of the transactions. - 2. For the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the preceding transactions, determine the amount of depreciation and amortization that Randy’s Restaurant Company should report for the quarter ended June 30. For convenience, the food locker and air-conditioning system are
depreciated as a group using the straight-line method with a useful life of five years and no residual value. - 3. Prepare a
journal entry to record the depreciation calculated in requirement 2.

Explanation of Solution
Depreciation expense: Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense, which is recorded on the income statement reflecting the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset.
Amortization expense: The expense which reflects the usage of intangible asset by the way of reducing the cost of the asset over the estimated useful definite life, is referred to as amortization expense.
Formula for amortization expense:
Straight-line method: The depreciation method which assumes that the consumption of economic benefits of long-term asset could be distributed equally throughout the useful life of the asset, is referred to as straight-line method.
Formula of depreciation expense under straight-line method:
Determine the depreciation expense for the equipmentfor 3 months (from April1 to June 30) under double-declining-balancemethod, if cost of equipment is $8,000, useful life is 5 years, and accumulated depreciation is $0.
Determine amortization expense for 1 month (from June 1 to June 30), if cost of franchise right is $9,120, and useful life is 4 years.

To journalize: The entries for depreciation expense and amortization expense
Explanation of Solution
Prepare journal entry for the depreciation expense and amortization expense as on June 30 (Refer to Requirement (2) for the expense values).
Date | Account Titles and Explanation | Post Ref. | Debit ($) | Credit ($) | ||

Table (11)
Description:
- Depreciation Expense is an expense account. Since expenses decrease equity, equity value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Amortization Expense is an expense account. Since expenses decrease equity, equity value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Accumulated Depreciation–Equipment is a contra-asset account, and contra-asset accounts would have a normal credit balance, hence, the account is credited.
- Accumulated Amortization is a contra-asset account, and contra-asset accounts would have a normal credit balance, hence, the account is credited.
