Exam 10: Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

The method of determining depreciation that yields successive reductions in the periodic depreciation charge over the estimated life of the asset is

Functional depreciation occurs when a fixed asset is no longer able to provide services at the level for which it was intended.

On July 1st, Hartford Construction purchases a bulldozer for $228,000. The equipment has a 9 year life with a residual value of $16,000. Hartford uses units-of-production method depreciation and the bulldozer is expected to yield 26,500 operating hours. (a) Calculate the depreciation expense per hour of operation. (b) The bulldozer is operated 1,250 hours in the first year, 2,755 hours in the second year, and 1,225 hours in the third year of operations. Journalize the depreciation expense for each year.

The Bacon Company acquired new machinery with a price of $15,200 by trading in similar old machinery and paying $12,700. The old machinery originally cost $9,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $5,000. In recording this transaction, Bacon Company should record

Expenditures that increase operating efficiency or capacity for the remaining useful life of a fixed asset are betterments.

Computer equipment was acquired at the beginning of the year at a cost of $65,000 that has an estimated residual value of $3,800 and an estimated useful life of 8 years. Determine the (a) depreciable cost, (b) straight-line rate, and (c) annual straight-line depreciation.

For each of the following fixed assets, determine the depreciation expense and the book value for the dates requested: Disposal date is N/A if asset is still in use. Method: SL = Straight Line; DDB = Double Declining Balance Assume the estimated life was 5 years for each asset.

On June 1, 2014, Aaron Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated useful life of 3 years and 30,000 hours. Using straight line depreciation, calculate depreciation expense for the first year.

A machine costing $85,000 with a 5-year life and $5,000 residual value was purchased January 2, 2011. Compute depreciation for each of the five years, using the declining-balance method at twice the straight-line rate.

On June 1, 2014, Aaron Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated useful life of 3 years and 30,000 hours. Using straight line depreciation, calculate depreciation expense for the last year.

When old equipment is traded in for a new equipment, the difference between the list price and the trade in allowance is called boot.

To a major resort, timeshare properties would be classified as property, plant and equipment.

The cost of new equipment is called a revenue expenditure because it will help generate revenues in the future.

The most widely used depreciation method is

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

Long-lived assets that are intangible in nature, used in the operations of the business, and held for sale in the ordinary course of business are called fixed assets.

Solare Company acquired mineral rights for $60,000,000. The diamond deposit is estimated at 6,000,000 tons. During the current year, 2,300,000 tons were mined and sold.

When a plant asset is traded for another similar asset, losses on the asset traded are recognized.
