Glans Company purchased equipment on account on April 6, 2012,
at an invoice price of
$442,000. On April 7, 2012, it paid $4,000 for the delivery of the
equipment. A one-year, $3,000
insurance policy on the equipment was purchased on April 9, 2012.
On April 22, 2012, Glans
paid $6,000 for the installation and testing of the equipment. The
equipment was ready for
use on May 1, 2012.
Glans estimates that the equipment’s useful life will be four
years, with a residual value of
$20,000. It also estimates that, in terms of activity, the
equipment’s useful life will be 150,000
units. Glans has an April 30 fiscal year-end. Assume the actual
usage is as follows:
# of units Year ended April 30
22,600 2013
45,600 2014
49,700 2015
32,200 2016
a) Determine the cost of the equipment
b) Prepare the depreciation schedules for the life of the asset
using the straight-line
depreciation method
c) Prepare the depreciation schedules for the life of the asset
using the diminishing
balance at double the straight-line rate depreciation method
d) Prepare the depreciation schedules for the life of the asset
using the units-of-production
depreciation method
Requirement a:
Cost of the equipment = $ 442,000+$ 4,000+$ 3,000+$ 6,000 = $ 445,000
