Land Improvements                    50,000

Building                                      300,000

Equipment                                 400,000

Total                                       $1,000,000

Calculate the cost which will be recorded in the accounting records of Holiday Workout and prepare the journal entry. Show all calculations for full marks.

2. Jaisal purchased a building as a maintenance shop on April 1, 2017, for $600,000. The building’s estimated life is 18 years and its estimated residual value is $60,000. The company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, 2017. Calculate depreciation for the fiscal year 2017 on the building if the policy of the company is:

1. The half-year rule is used for all purchases and disposals
2. The company calculates depreciation to the nearest whole month

3.         Mark’s Dairy purchased an ice cream machine at a cost of $400,000 and the

company originally believed the asset had a 16-year useful life with no residual value. The company uses the straight line method and has used the machine for four years. There were no betterments during this time. From its experience with the asset during the first four years, management believes the asset will remain useful for the next 20 years and at that time have no residual value. At the end of year 5, the company would compute a revised annual amortization amount.

1. Calculate the accumulated amortization and book value of the asset at the end of year 4.
2. Calculate what the revised amortization would be at the end of Year 5.

4.   Gurpreet and Shavi own a jewelry stand and decide to sell it on March 1, 2017. The adjusted balances on February 28, 2017 are as follows:

                        Jewelry Stand                                                                       $50,000

                        Accumulated Depreciation, Jewelry Stand                      30,000

Calculate the gain or loss on the sale and record the journal entries for the sale for each of the situations below, assuming the cash proceeds were:

1. $20,000
2. $24,000
3. $15,000
4. $0 the stand was scrapped

Answer 1

Ans.2(i)

Journal Entry

Land a/c Dr.(250000+50000) 300000

Building a/c Dr. 300000

Equipment a/c Dr. 400000

To Golden Health Spas a/c 800000

To Capital Reserve a/c (B/F) 200000

Golden Health Spas a/c Dr. 800000

To Cash a/c 400000

To Long term Note Payable a/c 400000

(ii) SLM Method

depreciation p.a. = (Original cost - Residual value) / estimated useful life

=(600000-60000)/18

=30,000 p.a.

Depreciation for fiscal year 2017 = from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 = 9 months

=30000 9/12

= $22,500

Ans.3

SLM method

For first 4 years

depreciation p.a. = (400000-0)/16

=$25000 p.a.

(a) accumulated amortization at the end of year 4

= 25000 4 years

=$100,000

book value at the end of year 4

= Original cost- accumulated amortization

=400000-100000

=$300,000

(b) revised amortization at the end of Year 5

=(300000-0)/20

=$15,000

Ans.4

WDV of Jewelry Stand as on February 28, 2017

= original cost - accumulated depreciation

=50000-30000

=$20,000

Particulars	(a)	(b)	(c)	(d)
sale proceeds	20000	24000	15000	0
(-) WDV	20000	20000	20000	20000
Gain/(Loss)	0	4,000	(5,000)	(20,000)
