In 1990, Flounder Company completed the construction of a
building at a cost of $2,300,000 and first occupied it in January
1991. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of
40 years and a salvage value of $69,000 at the end of that
time.
Early in 2001, an addition to the building was constructed at a
cost of $575,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining
life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an
additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30
years and a salvage value of $23,000.
In 2019, it is determined that the probable life of the building
and addition will extend to the end of 2050, or 20 years beyond the
original estimate.
a) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1991 through 2000.
Annual depreciation from 1991 through 2000 |
b) Compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 2001 through 2018.
Annual depreciation from 2001 through 2018 |
c) Prepare the entry, if necessary, to adjust the account balances because of the revision of the estimated life in 2019.
d) Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2019. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)
Annual depreciation expense—building |
A. Annual depreciation( Straight line method ) = [ Cost of the asset - Salvage value ] / Useful life of the asset
Given, Cost of the asset ( building ) = $ 2300000
Salvage value = $ 69000
Useful life of the asset = 40 years
Depreciation = [$ 2300000 - $ 69000] / 40 = $ 55775 a year
Under Straight line method depreciation is same as each year.
B. Addition of the buliding, Depreciation = [ $ 575000 - $ 23000] / 30 = $ 18400 a year
Building = $ 55775 , addition = $ 18400
New calculated depreciation = [$ 55775 + $ 18400 ] = $ 74175 a year
C. Entry is not necessery.
D. Revised annual depreciation
Building ( book value ) =[ $2300000- (55775 * 28 )] - 69000
= [2300000- 1561700 ] - 69000
= 669300 / 32 years = $ 20916
Addition = [$ 575000 - ( 18400 * 18 ) ] - $23000
=[ 575000 - 331200] - 23000
= 220800 / 32 years = $6900
Annual depreciation expenses building = ($ 20916 + $ 6900) = $27816
