A capitalized asset will appear on the balance sheet as a long term asset.

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 2 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 the 2nd year. c) Determine the depreciation expense for each of the remaining years after revision.

The Weber Company purchased a mining site for $1,750,000 on July 1, 2014. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 400,000 tons will be recovered.

When the amount of use of a fixed asset varies from year to year, the method of determining depreciation expense that best matches allocation of cost with revenue is

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.
