assigned to the cost of the building.
6. On January 1, Hampton Company paid $48,000 for a new delivery truck. It was estimated
that the truck would be driven 100,000 miles during the next 5 years, at which time it would
have a salvage value of $3,000. During the first and second years, the odometer registered
22,000 and 40,000 miles, respectively. How much is accumulated depreciation using the
activity (miles driven) method at the end of year 2?
Answer:
Depreciation expense = ($48,000 – $3,000)/100,000 = $0.45 per mile
Year 1: $0.45 x 22,000 = $9,900
Year 2: $0.45 x (40,000 - 22,000) = $8,100
Accumulated depreciation = $18,000

8. Harvey Ltd. purchased land and building in exchange for 50,000 shares of its stock that is
trading on the New York Stock Exchange at $20 a share. Although the market values of the
purchased assets are unknown, the current assessed value of the land is $300,000 and the
building is $600,000. How much is assigned to the land and to the building?
Answer:
Total purchase = $20 x 50,000 = $1,000,000
Land = ($300,000/$900,000) x $1,000,000 = $333,333
Building = ($600,000/$900,000) x $1,000,000 = $666,667

20. On April 1, Tarpon Co. made the following expenditures on its printing press:
The renovation increased the expected life and the attachment increased the productivity of
the press. What are the total expenditures capitalized to the printing press?
Answer: $8,000 + $2,000 + $1,000 + $1,000 + $3,000 = $15,000
21. On April 1, 2004, Cardot Co., which uses straight-line depreciation, purchased equipment
for $60,000 with a useful life of 7 years and $4,000 salvage value. On April 1, 2008, the
equipment was sold for $30,000. What gain should Cardot recognize as a result of this
disposition?
Answer:
Expense = ($60,000 – $4,000)/7 x 4 years = $32,000
Gain = $30,000 – [$60,000 – $32,000] = $2,000
Use the information that follows concerning Harrahs, Inc. to answer problems 22 through 24.
Harrahs Corporation purchased a dump truck at the beginning of 2008 at a cost of $60,000.
The truck had an estimated life of 5 years and an estimated residual value of $5,000. On
January 1, 2010, the company made major repairs of $3,000 to the truck that extended its life
2 more years. Starting with 2010, the truck has a remaining life of 5 years. The company uses
the straight-line depreciation method.
22. How much is the book value of the truck to be reported on the balance sheet at the end of
2009?
Answer:
Annual depreciation: ($60,000 – $5,000)/5 = $11,000
Book value at 12-31-2009: $60,000 – $11,000 – $11,000 = $38,000
23. What amount should be recorded as depreciation expense each year starting in 2010?
Answer:
Annual depreciation: ($60,000 – $5,000)/5 = $11,000
Book value at 12-31-2009: $60,000 – $11,000 – $11,000 = $38,000
2010 depreciation: ($38,000 + $3,000 – $5,000)/5 = $7,200
24. If Harrahs sells the truck at the end of 2010 for $20,000 cash, how much gain or loss
would be recognized?
Answer:
25. Calculate depreciation expense for each of the first two full years of life for an airplane
with a cost of $600,000, residual value of $40,000, and an estimated life of 4 years under the
double-declining-balance depreciation method.
Answer:
Year 1: $600,000 x 2/4 = $300,000
Year 2: ($600,000 – $300,000) x 2/4 = $150,000
26. Courtney Corp. has significant stock that can be issued by the company. The managers
are planning to sell the stock for a large profit by fraudulently inflating reported earnings.
They plan to sell the stock after current earnings are reported, then leave for the carnival in
Brazil. To accomplish their devious plans, they purchased inventory for $800,000 and
charged the inventory purchase to equipment that is being depreciated using the straight-line
method with a life of 8 years and no salvage value. If beginning and ending inventories were
correctly stated and a full year's depreciation is recognized on the equipment, what is the
amount of Courtney’s current net income overstatement?
Answer: $800,000 – ($800,000/8) = $700,000
27. Raymond Corporation is a new business that recycles consumption leftovers. The
investors in Raymond’s stock, expecting losses in the early stages of business, are impressed
with its early net incomes resulting in the ballooning of its stock price to $32 a share. During
the second year of operations, Raymond’s reported net income of $1,300,000. However, a
few months later, independent auditors reported existence of accounting irregularities
concerned with the capitalization of $3 million dollars of expenditures to Raymond’s land
account that should have been expensed. What is the appropriately adjusted net income for
the second year of operations?
Answer: $1.3 M – $3.0 M = $1.7 million loss
28. The balance in accumulated depreciation on January 1 and December 31 is $60,000 and
$70,000, respectively, during a year in which an asset with a cost of $20,000 and net book
value of $5,000 was sold for $3,000. Calculate the amount of depreciation expense for the
current year.
Answer: $70,000 + [$20,000 – $5,000] – $60,000 = $25,000
Use the information that follows to answer problems 29 through 31.
Laney Inc. and Monroe Company each ordered a new computer on January 1, 2009. The cost
of each computer was $3,500. The economic life expectancy of each computer is three years
with a $500 expected salvage value. During the current year Laney and Monroe experienced
identical operating events with the only difference being that Laney used the straight-line
depreciation method, while Monroe used the double-declining-balance depreciation method.
Both became disenchanted with their computers during the year due to the introduction of a
new generation of computers, and on December 31, 2009, each sold the computer for $800.
29. Calculate Laney’s depreciation expense and loss (gain) from the disposal of the computer.
Answer:
30. Calculate Monroe’s depreciation expense and loss (gain) from the disposal of the
computer.
Answer:
Depreciation expense: ($3,500 x 2/3) = $2,333
Loss from the disposal of the computer: $800 – ($3,500 – 2,333) = ($367)
31. Indicate how the current year's net income statements for Laney and Monroe would differ.
Answer:
Laney:
Depreciation expense using the straight-line method = (1/3) x ($3,500 – $500) = $1,000
Loss from the disposal of the computer: $800 – ($3,500 – $1,000) = ($1,700)
Total income statement effect = ($1,000) + ($1,700) = ($2,700)
Monroe:
Depreciation expense: ($3,500 x 2/3) = $2,333
Loss from the disposal of the computer: $800 – ($3,500 – $2,333) = ($367)
Total income statement effect = ($2,333) + ($367) = ($2,700)
The bottom line net incomes for both companies would be the same. However, Laney has a
$1,333 greater operating net income that is neutralized by a $1,333 greater loss from the
disposal of the computer, which is included in other revenues and expenses.
32. Mondova Corporation began operations on January 1. Below is Mondova’s current net
income statement and December 31 balance sheet calculated using straight-line depreciation.
Note 1: Equipment was purchased on January 1. Straight-line depreciation method was used
with an estimated economic life of 5 years.
A. Determine the estimated salvage value of the equipment being depreciated using the
straight-line method.
B. Prepare an income statement and balance sheet in the same format as presented above
assuming that Mondova Corporation uses the double-declining-balance depreciation method.
The equipment has an estimated economic life of 5 years.
C. Calculate and compare Mondova’s December 31 current ratio, debt/equity ratio, and debt
to assets ratio using the financial statements constructed using the straight-line and doubledeclining-balance methods of depreciation.
Answer:
The current ratio is not affected by alternative depreciation methods used because the
measure of current assets and current liabilities is not influenced by depreciation
measurements. However, total assets and net income (retained earnings portion of
shareholders' equity) are decreased when the double-declining-balance depreciation method
is used instead of straight-line. Hence, the debt/assets and debt/equity ratios increased
(deteriorated) when the accelerated depreciation method is applied during the early portion of
the asset's life.
33. Several years ago, Welch Company purchased a copyright. Amortizing occurs on a

B. Calculate the original cost of the patent.
C. As of December 31, 2009, over how many years has Welch amortized the copyright?
Answer:
A. $3,000
B. $15,000 + $135,000 = $150,000
C. $18,000 / $3,000 = 6 years
34. On January 1, the balance in accumulated depreciation is $28,000. During the current
year depreciation expense is $10,000 and equipment with a cost of $9,000 was sold for
$3,000 at a loss of $1,000. Calculate the December 31 balance in accumulated depreciation.
Answer: $28,000 + $10,000 – [$9,000 – $3,000 – $1,000] = $33,000
35. The balance of accumulated depreciation on January 1 and December 31, 2008 is $54,000
and $58,000, respectively. During 2008, depreciation expense is $18,000, and equipment with
a cost of $20,000 is sold for $4,000. Calculate the loss or gain from the sale of equipment.
Answer:
$58,000 – $18,000 – $54,000 = $14,000 accumulated depreciation removed
$20,000 – $14,000 – $4,000 = $2,000 loss
Short Essay Questions
1. Dorman Company purchased a new web server on January 1. The following information
and expenditures related to this acquisition were made:
Specify and justify which of the preceding expenditures should be added to the cost of the
web server and disclose that cost. Indicate how the expenditures excluded from the cost of the
web server would be classified.
Answer: The cost of the web server is its cash or cash equivalent price plus all expenditures
necessary to get the asset in place and ready for its intended use. The list price does not
measure the web server's cash price and therefore is irrelevant information. The cost includes
the cash price ($4,200), transportation-in ($300), insurance during transport ($100),
installation costs ($200), and the cost of the disk drive ($1,000). Hence, the total cost of the
web server is $5,800. Interest paid for financing the purchases ($240) and the cost of the oneyear maintenance contract ($400) are expensed during the first year of web server use.
2. Many years ago, a well-known American company publicly advertised with the slogan
"Our most important asset is our employees". More recently, other companies have realized
that quality employees working in an excellent work environment that respects those
employees produce quality products at a reasonable cost. Although this may be the
foundation for American companies to become more internationally competitive, on the
balance sheet and in your chapter on long-lived assets, there is no recognition of an employee
asset. Why is there not an asset on the balance sheet that recognizes the contribution of
employees to the future profit-making ability of a firm?
Answer: Usually the difficulty of objectively measuring the contribution of a quality work
force and excellent work environment is used to justify the exclusion of human assets from
the balance sheet. In a wage labor organization of production consistent with capitalism, the
employer purchases the employees' time, not the employee him/herself. Although the
employer has considerable influence over employees, he/she does not own nor possess nor
totally control those employees, as does the owner of an asset that is recognized on the
balance sheet.
3. On January 1, 2009, Tavis Corp. sold a piece of equipment for $10,000 that it had used for
several years. The equipment had cost $50,000, and the accumulated depreciation account
had a balance of $34,000 at the time of the sale. Describe the effects on the accounting
equation of selling the equipment.
Answer: The entry to record the sale of a plant asset has the net effect of reducing assets and
owners’ equity each by $6,000. Three items are impacted in the asset section of the balance
sheet. First, cash is increased by $10,000. Second, the cost of the equipment, $50,000, is
removed from assets. Third, the accumulated depreciation associated with the plant asset sold
is removed from the accumulated depreciation account, thereby increasing assets by $34,000.
The decrease in owners’ equity is a result of the $6,000 loss associated with the disposal.
4. Identify the role of the matching principle in accounting for long-lived assets.
Answer: Costs of long-lived assets are capitalized and reported as assets on the balance sheet.
The estimated useful life is used as a basis for estimating the period of time in which the cost
of the asset will be allocated. The depreciation method is chosen based on what method will
best allocate the cost of the asset incurred to accounting periods in which the respective
revenue was earned.
5. What primary objective should management attempt to accomplish when selecting the
depreciation method for tax purposes?
Answer: Management should use the depreciation strategy that provides the greatest
economic benefit for the company. This normally means that management should choose the
shortest allowable time and the most extreme form of accelerated depreciation. These
methods save tax dollars in the early years of the assets’ lives, and thereby minimize the cash
flows needed to make tax payments.
6. What problems are inherent in recording trade-ins of plant assets?
Answer: It is difficult to determine the dollar amount at which the asset received should be
valued on the balance sheet. The asset received in a trade-in should be valued on the balance
sheet at either the fair market value of the assets given up, or the fair market value of the
assets received, whichever is clearly more evident and objectively determinable.
7. How do intangible assets differ from long-lived plant assets?
Answer: Intangible assets are characterized by having rights, privileges, and benefits of
possession with no physical existence. Plant assets are tangible and have a physical existence.
Both are used in the operations of the business and provide benefits that extend beyond the
current accounting period.
8. During a meeting of top executives of the Alcorn Corporation, a discussion of the current
downturn of sales and profits was taking place. Expecting vigorous competition to extend this
difficult situation well into the next decade, the executives searched for ways to soften its
impact on the financial statements. Attention was focused upon the company controller who
was answering inquiries concerning the possibility of changing accounting procedures in
order to give shareholders' the "best view from a bad situation". Responding to the inquiries,
the controller authoritatively observed: "Alcorn uses a 10-year expected life on its long-term
assets and a salvage value equal to 5% of cost in calculating depreciation expense using the
straight-line method. This policy was quite conservative in light of the industry average of a
15-year life expectancy and a 10% of cost salvage value. In light of the 3 billion dollars of
depreciable assets (net book value), switching to the industry average would certainly
improve the measured results of operations." Everyone was thrilled about the possibility of
improving measured profits except for one middle-top executive. She questioned whether the
switch would be acceptable to the auditor. The controller responded that switching to industry
average expectations would not violate GAAP and would be acceptable to the auditor (whose
firms depends greatly on Alcorn’s account). Alcorn would disclose the change in the
footnotes and the effect of this change on accounting estimates in the current year's net
income. The questioning executive would not object to the plan to liberalize income
measurement, but stated that it has always been known as a most conservative firm. And if
things ultimately go from bad to worse, Alcorn may get some negative press concerning the
change because of the appearance of delaying disclosure on the income statement of the
financial trouble Alcorn is facing. It was decided to change the depreciation policy using the
industry average expected life and salvage value.
Comment on this change of depreciation measurement in light of generally accepted
accounting principles and the problem of appearance. Include the amount of increase in net
income caused by this change in depreciation parameters.
Answer: Changing estimated life from 10 years to 15 years and salvage value from 5% to
10% of cost decreases annual depreciation expense on $3 billion of net assets by $105 million
(from $285 million to $180 million). This significant increase in measured profits can
certainly be justified under GAAP. After all, Alcorn is only changing depreciation parameters
to that typically acceptable in the industry. (This can be referred to as the teenage
justification: Everyone else is doing it.) Full disclosure of the change and its effect on the
financial statements minimizes criticism. The auditor would not be justified in rejecting the
changes in estimated life and salvage value that are acceptable in the industry. However, the
general population interested in Alcorn’s financial position and results of operations may not
consider the change in such a narrow accounting viewpoint. If Alcorn continues its financial
slide, changes in accounting measurements will ultimately not be able to continue the liberal
measures of Alcorn’s income statement and balance sheet. Ultimately, Alcorn may have to
restructure operations by closing down plants and laying off employees. This results in huge
charges (restructuring losses) against net income. Less depreciation expense now will result
in more restructuring losses later. (The piper will have to be paid.) At this time, the parties
interested in Alcorn and those taking large losses on their investments in its stock will
question the intent of such accounting changes. Alcorn is considered the steward of
conservatism in accounting. This reliance and the ultimate disappointment will only cause the
users of accounting information to question the reliability and usefulness of financial
statements.
9. What are post-acquisition expenditures? How are they accounted for?
Answer: Post-acquisition expenditures are costs that either improve an existing asset, not
merely maintain it, or increase its useful life. Costs incurred to improve the asset are called
betterments, and are capitalized as part of cost of the asset. Costs incurred to repair or
maintain the assets’ current level of productivity are classified as maintenance. Maintenance
costs are expensed immediately and reported on the income statement.
10. How should management choose an acceptable cost allocation method for accounting
purposes?
Answer: The primary selection factor should be based on how well the cost allocation method
matches expenses against the revenues produced. The straight-line method should be used in
situations where revenues are constant across a period of time. The accelerated methods
assume that revenues are higher in early periods and lower in later periods. The activity
method assumes that revenues are generated in proportion to the assets’ activity. Management
often chooses a method based on its desired effect on important financial ratios that are used
by shareholders, investors, and creditors to evaluate management performance. The tax
effects of different depreciation choices are also taken into consideration.
11. Identify the steps necessary in recording the retirement of the long-lived asset.
Answer: First, remove the cost basis of the asset with a credit to the specific plant asset
account. Second, remove the associated accumulated depreciation with a debit. Record the
cash received, if any, as a debit to Cash. Finally, if the selling price exceeds the asset’s book
value, record a gain by crediting, “Gain on Retirement of Plant Assets,” or if the selling price
was less than the asset’s book value, record the loss by debiting “Loss on Retirement of Plant
Assets.”
12. Intangible assets can be divided into two broad categories; those with definite lives, and
those with indefinite lives. Assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization while
those with definite lives are. Explain why this is the case and give at least one example of an
intangible asset with a definite life and one example of an intangible asset with an indefinite
live.
Answer: Copyrights and patents are examples of intangible assets with definite lives.
Goodwill, trademarks, and organization costs, are examples of intangible assets with an
indefinite life.
Assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization because their cost can’t be
allocated to a finite number of accounting periods, when their lives are infinite or
indeterminable. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their legal or useful
lives, whichever is shorter.
13. How do long-lived assets differ from inventory?
Answer: Long-lived assets are assets used in the operations of the business, providing
benefits that extend beyond the current accounting period. Inventory assets are classified as
current on the balance sheet and are expected to help produce income (sold) in the current
accounting period. Inventory assets are held for sale and are not used in the operations of the
business, whereas long-lived assets are used to produce income.
14. The Dayton Symphony recently acquired cellist Carlos Romono from the Cincinnati
Symphony in exchange for violinist Elton Daal. These artists’ contracts are capitalized and
reported as assets by the symphonies. What complications arise in determining the cost of
each artist’s contract for accounting purposes?
Answer: The asset received in a trade-in should be valued on the balance sheet at either the
fair market value of the asset given up, or the fair market value of the asset received,
whichever is clearly more evident and objectively determinable. The fair market value of the
asset Dayton received (Carlos) is objectively hard to determine and may be difficult to
quantify. The amount one symphony is willing to “pay” and another symphony is willing to
accept is the best approach to determine a True fair market value. Since neither of these
artists is being “sold” out right, this transaction represents a True absence of the real fair
market value of either artist. A best guess at fair market value will have to suffice.
