Exam 8: Reporting and Interpreting Property, Plant, and Equipment; Intangibles; and Natural Resources

The units-of-production method of depreciation allocates an asset's cost over its useful life based on the current period's production relative to its total estimated production.

Use of the double-declining-balance method of depreciation results in higher depreciation expense during the first year of an asset's life relative to use of the straight-line depreciation method.

On January 1, 2014, equipment was purchased for $80,000; the equipment's estimated residual value is $15,000, and its estimated useful life is 10 years. For 2014, the depreciation expense under the double-declining balance method is $13,000.

Which of the following accounts would not be considered an intangible asset?

Which of the following includes only intangible assets?

On January 1, 2014, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $40,000. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $4,000 residual value. Wasson estimates that the vehicle will be driven 100,000 miles. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2015 assuming Wasson uses the units-of-production depreciation method and the vehicle was driven 10,000 miles during 2014 and 18,000 miles during 2015?

At the beginning of the eighth year, a major overhaul on it was completed at a cost of $8,000, and the total estimated useful life was changed to 12 years with the residual value unchanged. How much is the year 8 depreciation expense assuming use of the straight-line depreciation method?

The machine has an estimated useful life of five years, is expected to produce 500,000 units, and has an estimated residual value of $25,000. Required: A. Calculate depreciation expense to the nearest whole dollar for each year of the machine's useful life under 1. Straight-line depreciation method. 2. Double declining-balance method. B. What is the book value of the machine after three years using the double declining-balance method? C. What is the book value of the machinery after three years using the straight-line method? D. If the machine was used to produce and sell 120,000 units in 2014, what would be the depreciation expense using the units-of-production method?
