Answer 1

1) C - cost of clearing the land

Cost of land includes legal fees, bank fees and similar fees. It also includes other cost for prepared for use like cost of clearing the land , draining etc.

2) A - amount paid to ready of asset for its intended use.

Cost of plant asset includes purchase price and all expenditure necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use.

3) B- $88,500

Cost of asset= purchase price+ installation charges + Transit insurance

= 80,000+8,000+500

=$88,500

4) D- $1,06,200

land improvement cost= purchase price+ legal charges+ land clearing

= 1,00,000+1,200+5,000

=$1,06,200

5) C- $13,333

Depreciation rate= 1/usefull life of asset*100

= 1/6*100

= 16.67%

DDB = 2*cost of asset*depreciation rate

= 2*40,000*16.66%

= 13,333

6) D - $6,000

Depreciation (SLM) = (cost-salvage value)/useful life

= (40,000-4,000)/6

= $6,000

7) D- $12,000

Depreciation expense ( units of production) = (cost- salvage value)* no of machine hours used/ total machine hours

= (40,000-4,000)*8000/24,000

= $12,000

8) A,C- $36,000

Depreciation per annum= cost-salvage value/useful life

= (56000-6000)/5

= 10,000

Book value at the end of 2nd year = cost- (2*depreciation expense p.a)

= 56,000-(2*10,000)

=$36,000

9) True

Gain= sale value- ( cost- accumulated depreciation)

= 1000-(9,000-8,500)

=$500

10) D $15,00loss

Depreciation expense= ( cost-salvage)/useful life

= (12,000-2,000)/5

=$2,000

Accumulated depreciation= 3*2000

= 6000

Gain/( Loss)= sale value-(cost- accumulated depreciation)

= 4,500 - ( 12,000 -6,000)

= (1500)

Loss $1500
