    Individual Assignment – Accounting For Plant Asset

    1. Silverman Company purchased machinery for $162,000 on January 1, 2015. It is estimated that the machinery will have a
    useful life of 20 years, residual value of $15,000, production of 84,000 units, and working hours of 42,000. During 2015,
    the company uses the machinery for 14,300 hours, and the machinery produces 20,000 units. Compute annual
    depreciation under:

    A. Straight-line method

    B. Units of activity method - units-of-output

    C. Units of activity method - working hours, and

    D. Double-declining-balance method

    2. Workman Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2015, for €800,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of
    5 years and a residual value of €100,000. Depreciation was computed by the 150% declining-balance method. What is the
    amount of accumulated depreciation at the end of December 31, 2016?

    3. A building that was purchased December 31, 1991, for £2,500,000 was originally estimated to have a life of 50 years with
    no residual value at the end of that time. The company follows straight line method. Depreciation has been recorded
    through 2015. During 2016, an examination of the building by an engineering firm discloses that its estimated useful life
    is 15 years after 2015. What should be the amount of depreciation for 2016?

    4. Lockard Company purchased machinery on January 1, 2015, for €80,000. The machinery is estimated to have a residual
    value of €8,000 after a useful life of 8 years. (a) Compute 2015 depreciation expense using the straight-line method. (b)
    Compute 2015 depreciation expense using the straight-line method, assuming the machinery was purchased on
    September 1, 2015. (c) Compute 2015 depreciation expense using the double declining- balance method, assuming the
    machinery was purchased on October 1, 2015.

    5. Machinery purchased for $52,000 by Carver Co. in 2011 was originally estimated to have a life of 8 years with a residual
    value of $4,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been entered for 5 years on this basis. In 2016, it is determined
    that the total estimated life should be 10 years with a residual value of $4,500 at the end of that time. Assume straight-
    line depreciation. Prepare the entry to record depreciation for 2016.

    6. Plant assets often require expenditures subsequent to acquisition. It is important that they be accounted for properly.
    Any errors will affect both the statements of financial position and income statements for a number of years. For each
    of the following items, indicate whether the expenditure should be capitalized (C) or expensed (E) in the period
    incurred.

    B. Replacement of a minor broken part on a machine.
    C. Expenditure that increases the useful life of an existing asset.
    D. Expenditure that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of a productive asset but does not increase its
    residual value.
    E. Expenditure that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of a productive asset and increases the asset’s
    residual value.
    F. Ordinary repairs.
    G. Improvement to a machine that increased its fair value and its production capacity by 30% without extending
    the machine’s useful life.
    H. ExpenditureIndividual
    that increases Assignment – Accounting
    the quality of the output Forasset.
