Solich purchased all the assets at the beginning of 2019 (3 years ago). The building is depreciated over a 10-year service life using the double-declining-balance method and estimating no residual value. The equipment is depreciated over a 9-year useful life using the straight-line method with an estimated residual value of $11,000. The patent is estimated to have a five-year service life with no residual value and is amortized using the straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization have been recorded for 2019 and 2020.

Answer -
1. Answer -
a. Record depreciation on the building:
Calculation:
Double-declining-balance method:
Depreciation expense = 2 * (Book value of assets / Useful life)
= 2 * ($284160 / 10 years)
= $56832
b. Record depreciation on the equipment:
Calculation:
Straight-line method:
Depreciation expense = (Cost of assets - Residual value) / Useful life
= ($221600 - $11000) / 9 years
= $23400
2. Answer -
Record amortization expense for the patent:
Transaction | General Ledger | Debit | Credit |
1 | Amortization expense | $34,000 | |
Patent | $34,000 | ||
(To record annual amortization expense) |
Calculation:
Straight-line method:
Amortization expense = Cost of assets / Useful life
= $170000 / 5 years
= $34000
