Question 1

Answer 1

True

Question 2

To be charged to and reported as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment, an expenditure must be normal, reasonable, and necessary in preparing the asset for itsintended use.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Subsequent expenditures are purchases made after the acquisition of equipment to operate, maintain, repair, and improve it.

Question 5

Because land has unlimited life, it is not subject to depreciation. Therefore, items that increase the usefulness of the land such as parking lots are also not depreciated.

Question 6

Question 7

Revenue expenditures are additional costs of property, plant and equipment that provide material benefits extending beyond the current period.

Question 8

Land purchased as a building site is a tangible asset called property, plant andequipment and is classified under the "Long-term Investments" section on the balance sheet.

Question 9

Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a tangible asset in a rational and systematic manner over the asset's estimated useful life.

Question 10

Question 23

Companies are required to use the straight line depreciation method for tax purposes because this method yields the lowest depreciation expense and results in the highest payment of tax.

Question 24

Regardless of the method of depreciation, total depreciation expense will be the same over an asset's useful life.

Question 25

Depreciation measures the decline in market value of an asset.

Question 26

Financial accounting and tax accounting require the same recordkeeping; therefore, there should be no difference in results between the two accounting systems.

Question 27

At the beginning of the third year, the predicted number of years remaining in its useful life changes from three years to four years and its estimated residual value changes from the original $1,000 to $400. The revised annual depreciation using the straight-linemethod is $1,500.

Question 29

Question 30

Question 31

Question 32

SportsWorld purchased store equipment for $65,000. The equipment has an estimated residual value of $6,000, with an estimated useful life of 10 years. The annualdepreciation using the straight-line method will be $3,900 per year.

Question 37

Question 38

Because depreciation is based on predictions of residual value and useful life, depreciation is an estimate.

Question 39

Question 41

Property, plant and equipment can be disposed of by discarding, sale, or exchange of the asset.

Question 42

Question 48

Question 54

Amortization is the process of allocating the cost of intangibles over their estimated useful life.

Question 55

If the book value of a property, plant and equipment item is less than the amount to be recovered through the asset's use or sale, the difference is an impairment loss and the asset is described as impaired.
