Exam 9: Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

Equipment with a cost of $220,000 has an estimated residual value of $30,000 and an estimated life of 10 years or 19,000 hours. It is to be depreciated by the straight-line method. What is the amount of depreciation for the first full year, during which the equipment was used 2,100 hours?

The formula for depreciable cost is

The transfer to expense of the cost of intangible assets attributed to the passage of time or decline in usefulness is called amortization.

The journal entry for recording an operating lease payment would

When minor errors occur in the estimates used in the determination of depreciation, the amounts recorded for depreciation expense in the past should be corrected.

Expected useful life is

When a plant asset is traded for another similar asset, losses on the asset traded are not recognized.

Journalize each of the following transactions:

A characteristic of a fixed asset is that it is

When a company establishes an outstanding reputation and has a competitive advantage because of it, the company should record goodwill on its financial statements.

Equipment acquired at a cost of $126,000 has a book value of $42,000. Journalize the disposal of the equipment under the following independent assumptions.

Falcon Company acquired an adjacent lot to construct a new warehouse, paying $40,000 and giving a short-term note for $410,000. Legal fees paid were $13,275, delinquent taxes assessed were $14,500, and fees paid to remove an old building from the land were $15,800. Materials salvaged from the demolition of the building were sold for $6,800. A contractor was paid $890,000 to construct a new warehouse. Determine the cost of the land to be reported on the balance sheet and show your work.

An estimate of the amount which an asset can be sold at the end of its useful life is called residual value.

The most widely used depreciation method is

On July 1st, Harding Construction purchases a bulldozer for $228,000. The equipment has a 8 year life with a residual value of $16,000. Harding uses straight-line depreciation. (a) Calculate the depreciation expense and provide the journal entry for the first year ending December 31st. (b) Calculate the third year's depreciation expense and provide the journal entry for the third year ending December 31st. (c) Calculate the last year's depreciation expense and provide the journal entry for the last year.

Which intangible assets are amortized over their useful life?

A fixed asset with a cost of $30,000 and accumulated depreciation of $28,500 is sold for $3,500. What is the amount of the gain or loss on disposal of the fixed asset?

A fixed asset's estimated value at the time it is to be retired from service is called
