On January 2, 20x0, the Lamia purchased a building for $6,000,000. The cost of the building

was allocated as follows:

Cost	Residual Value	Useful Life
External Structure	$4,000,000	$400,000	40
All other components	2,000,000	0	15

On April 30, 20x12, the HVAC system is replaced at a cost of $600,000. The cost of the original

HVAC system was $800,000 and was included in ‘All Other Components’.

On April 30, 20x28, Lamia invested $1,000,000 in improvements to the building (allocated to

the external structure). This improvement increased the total useful life of the external structure

to 60 years. The residual value remains the same.

Lamia uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
