Exam 10: Long-Term Assets: Fixed and Intangible

Once the useful life of a depreciable asset has been estimated and the amount to be depreciated each year has been determined,the amounts cannot be changed.

An asset was purchased for $58,000 and originally estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with a residual value of $3,000.After two years of straight-line depreciation,it was determined that the remaining useful life of the asset was only two years with a residual value of $2,000. (a)Determine the amount of the annual depreciation for the first two years. (b)Determine the book value at the end of Year 2. (c)Determine the depreciation expense for each of the remaining years after revision.

A number of major structural repairs completed at the beginning of the current fiscal year at a cost of $1,000,000 are expected to extend the life of a building 10 years beyond the original estimate.The original cost of the building was $6,552,000,and it has been depreciated by the straight-line method for 25 years.Estimated residual value is negligible and has been ignored.The related accumulated depreciation account after the depreciation adjustment at the end of the preceding fiscal year is $4,550,000.

The book value of a fixed asset reported on the balance sheet represents its market value on that date.

The term applied to the amount of cost to transfer to expense resulting from a decline in the utility of intangible assets is

Computer equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $63,000 that has an estimated residual value of $3,000 and an estimated useful life of five years.Determine the (a)depreciable cost (b)double-declining-balance rate,and (c)double-declining-balance depreciation for the first year.

The amount of depreciation expense for the first full year of use of a fixed asset costing $95,000,with an estimated residual value of $5,000 and a useful life of five years,is $19,000 by the straight-line method.

On December 31,Strike Company sold one of its batting cages for $50,000.The equipment had an original cost of $310,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $260,000.Depreciation has been recorded up to the end of the year.What is the amount of the gain or loss on this transaction?
