Exam 7: Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets

A company acquired a truck for $79,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year. It has a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $9,000. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. After owning the truck for two years, the company sold it for $34,000. (a) Determine depreciation expense for each of the first two years, and (b) determine the gain or loss resulting from the sale.

Depletion is the process of transferring the cost of intangible assets to an expense account.

Long-lived assets that are intangible in nature, used in the operations of the business, and not held for sale in the ordinary course of business are called fixed assets.

Under the straight-line method, 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 5 years, will be $18,000.

The total depreciation across the years of an asset's life is the same under the double-declining-balance method or the straight-line method.

A machine was purchased for $60,000. It has a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $6,000. Determine the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method?

A fixed asset with a cost of $30,000 and accumulated depreciation of $25,000 is sold for $3,500. What is the amount of gain or loss on disposal of the fixed asset?

Intangible assets do not exist physically.

Amortization refers to systematic periodic transfer of the cost of a fixed asset to an expense account.
