1-b.	Prepare the journal entries for each of the above transactions. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

2.

For the tangible and intangible assets acquired in the preceding transactions, determine the amount of depreciation and amortization that Palmer Cook Productions should report for the quarter ended March 31. For convenience, the equipment and vehicle are depreciated the same way, using the straight-line method with a useful life of five years and no residual value. The building is depreciated using the double-declining-balance method, with a 8-year useful life and residual value of $33,000. (Do not round intermediate calculations).

TIP: Calculate depreciation from the acquisition date to the end of the quarter.

3.	Prepare a journal entry to record the depreciation calculated in requirement 2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
