Question 4 (30 minutes)
Easy Company bought a piece of equipment four years ago. At December 31, 2020, the company revalued the equipment to its fair value. The following information relates to the equipment
Original cost: $1,200; Residual value: $ 200; Estimated useful life from purchase date: 10 years; Years used to December 31, 2020: 4 years; Fair value at December 31, 2020: $966; Depreciation method is straight-line.
Required:
- Determine the depreciation expense for 2020.
- Record the journal entry adjustment for the revaluation, using the ‘asset adjustment’method.
- Determine the depreciation expense for 2021.
- Assume that the fair value at the end of 2022 is $468. Record the journal entry for depreciation first for 2022, and then the entry related to this new fair value for 2022.

Question 6 (25 minutes)
The following events occurred in 2020:
- June 30, 2020 A building that Big Company had purchased on January 1, 2016, for $ 10,000 was exchanged for another building owned by Other Company. Big Company exchanged its building and $1,000 cash for Other Company’s building. Big’s building had a fair value of $ 9,500 at the time of the exchange. Straight-line depreciation on the building with a 40-year useful life and no R.V. has been properly charged from Jan. 1, 2016 through Dec. 31, 2019. Both parcels of land on which the warehouses were located were equal in value, and had a fair value equal to book value. Big Company’s building contained a manufacturing operation. Other Company’s building was an office building.
- Dec. 30, 2020 Machinery with a cost of $ 120 and accumulated depreciation through December 31, 2019, of $ 90 was exchanged, along with $ 15 cash, for a parcel of land with a fair market value of $ 44. Straight-line depreciation had been used for the machine. The machine had a 12-year useful life, and was 9 years-old as at Dec. 31, 2019.
- Big Company replaced a roof on a building that it purchased in 2008. (12 years old as at Dec. 31, 2020.) The building cost $400,000 in 2008, and had an estimated life of 40 years, with no residual value. The new roof costs $25,020 to install. Big Company estimated that prices for goods and services have increased by 80% since 2008 . The roof component was not separately identified in the company accounts, but, of course, was included in the building asset at that time.
Required: Prepare ALL journal entries for 2020 related to the three situations above. Each situation may require more than one entry.

Solution:
For Question No.4:
GIven, Original cost = $1,200, Residual Value = $200, estimated life = 10
1) Determine the depreciation expense for 2020.
Depreciation before revaluation = (Cost - Salvage value) / Useful life
= ($1,200 - $200) / 10
= $1,000 /10
Depreciation before revaluation for 2020 = $100
2) Record the journal entry adjustment for the revaluation, using the ‘asset adjustment’method.
Depreciation for 4 years = $100 * 4 = $400
Book value at the end of 4 years = $1,200 - $400 = $800
The Book value at the time of revaluation of assets is $800 but it is revalued at the fair value to $966. The difference of $166 ($966 - $800) is transfered to revaluation surplus account. So, the Adjusting Journal entry for the revaluation of the asset is as follows.
| Date | Particulars | Debit | Credit |
| Equipment A/c | $ 166 | ||
| To Revaluation A/c | $ 166 | ||
| (To Record Revaluation Surplus) | |||
3) Determine the depreciation expense for 2021
The revalued value of the asset at fair value = $ 966
Useful life = 10 years - 4 years = 6 years
Depreciation after revaluation = (Revalued value - Salvage value) / Remaining Useful life
= ($966 - $200) / 6
= $766 / 6
Depreciation after revaluation = $127.67 = $128(rounded off to the nearest dollar)
4) Assume that the fair value at the end of 2022 is $468. Record the journal entry for depreciation first for 2022, and then the entry related to this new fair value for 2022.
| Date | Particulars | Debit | Credit |
| Depreciation Expense A/c | $ 128 | ||
| To Equipment A/c | $ 128 | ||
| (To Record Depreciation Expense) | |||
Note: The depreciation expense will be the same as calculated abover for 2021
The Book value at the end of 2022 = $966 - ($128 *2)
= $966 - $26
The Book value at the end of 2022 = $710
The Book value at the end of the year 2022 is $710 but it revalued to the lower value of $468. There is a difference of $242 ($710 - $468) which is the revaluation loss. There is a balance of $166 in the Revaluation surplus. The difference in excess of revaluation surplus is $76 which is to be transfered to the Impairment losses A/c
| Date | Particulars | Debit | Credit |
| Revaluation Surplus A/c | $ 166 | ||
| Impairment Losses | $ 76 | ||
| To Building A/c | $ 166 | ||
