Subjective Short Answer
200. Aliquippa Co. purchased equipment at the beginning of 2016 for $60,000. In addition, Aliquippa paid $2,000 for
delivery of the equipment to its plant and $1,000 for installation of the equipment. The equipment has an estimated
residual value of $7,000 and an estimated life of 7 years or 70,000 hours of operation. Aliquippa is looking at alternative
depreciation methods for the equipment. Calculate the following:
A.
The depreciation expense for the year 2016 using the straight-line depreciation method.
B.
The total accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017, using the units-of-production
depreciation method. Assume that the equipment is operated for 15,000 hours in 2016 and
12,000 hours in 2017.
C.
The book value of the equipment at December 31, 2016, using the double-declining-balance
depreciation method.
D.
Which of the above methods is considered accelerated?
E.
What are the advantages of using an accelerated depreciation method as compared to the
straight-line method for lowering taxes early in the life of the equipment?
ANSWER:
A.
($63,000 $7,000)/7 = $8,
B.
($63,000 $7,000)/70,000 = $.80 per hour
Depreciation for 2016: 15,000 × $.80 = $12,000
Depreciation for 2017: 12,000 × $.80 = $9,600
Accumulated depreciation: $12,000 + $9,600 = $21,6
C.
Depreciation for 2016: $63,000 × (1/7 × 2) = $18,000
Book value: $63,000 $18,000 = $45,
D.
Double-declining balance is an accelerated method.
E.
Accelerated depreciation allocates more expense to the earlier accounting periods
during the life of the equipment than straight-line depreciation. Accelerated depreciation
causes net income to be lower, so less taxes are paid and cash flow is increased early in
the equipment’s life than if the straight-line method was used.

201. Imperial Corp. purchased land and a building for $425,000. The appraised values of the land and the building were
$150,000 and $450,000, respectively. In addition, the attorney was paid $10,000 for handling the closing on the property.
A.
What amounts will be recorded as the costs of the land and building?
B.
What is the accounting justification against increasing the land and building accounts for their
appraised values?
ANSWER:
A.
Land: ($150,000/$600,000) × $435,000 = $108,750
Building: ($450,000/$600,000) × $435,000 = $326,250
B.
The appraised values do not represent the actual amount paid for the land and building.
The appraised amounts are not verifiable. Conservatism requires that plant assets be
recorded at the original cost to avoid overstatement.

210. Why do many companies use MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) depreciation for tax purposes?
If a company uses MACRS for depreciation for tax purposes, can it use a different method for financial reporting?
Explain why or why not.
ANSWER:
Many companies use MACRS because it is an approved accelerated tax method of
depreciation that allocates more cost in the earlier years of useful life than other methods.
This results in lower taxes earlier in the life of the asset. Yes, a company can use one method
for accounting purposes and another method for tax purposes. For accounting purposes, the
goal of depreciation is to properly allocate the cost of the plant asset to the accounting
periods benefited. A company should select a tax depreciation method that allows it to pay
the least possible taxes in the early years, thus increasing available cash flow.

211. Daytona Beach Company purchased a car for a salesman for $23,500 at the beginning of 2016. The car had an
estimated life of 5 years, and an estimated residual value of $3,500. Daytona Beach used the straight-line depreciation
method. At the beginning of 2017, Daytona Beach incurred $2,500 to replace the car's transmission. This resulted in a 2-
year extension of the car's useful life, but no change in the residual value.
A.
What type of cost is the $2,500? Explain.
B.
Calculate the book value of the car at the end of 2016.
C.
Find the depreciation expense on the car for 2017.
ANSWER:
A.
The $2,500 cost is a capital expenditure. It increases the
plant asset's useful life so it must be capitalized.
B.
Depreciation: ($23,500 $3,500)/5 = $4,000 per year
Book value: $23,500 $4,000 = $19,500

213. Dayton Ridge Co. purchased new trucks at the beginning of 2016 for $600,000. The trucks had an estimated life of 4
years and an estimated residual value of $50,000. Dayton Ridge uses straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of 2017,
Dayton Ridge sold the trucks for $480,000 and purchased new trucks for $700,000. Determine the following amounts:
A.
Book value of the trucks at the end of 2016.
B.
Gain (loss) on the sale of the trucks at the beginning of 2017 (Indicate the amount and
whether a gain or loss).
ANSWER:
A.
Depreciation expense: ($600,000 $50,000)/ 4 years = $137,500
Book value: $600,000 $137,500 = $462,500

214. Foxrun, Inc. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2016 for $32,500. Foxrun decided to depreciate the truck over an
8-year period using the straight-line method, and estimated its residual value to be $4,500. At the beginning of 2017,
Foxrun determined that a 5-year life should have been used to depreciate the truck. The estimated residual value was not
affected by the revision in the asset's life.
A.
Determine the amounts to be recorded as depreciation expense for 2016 and 2017.
B.
What factors may have influenced Foxrun to change the useful life?
ANSWER:
A.
2016: ($32,500 $4,500)/8 = $3,500
2017: [($32,500 $3,500) $4,500]/4 = $6,125
B.
The factors that may influence the change in useful life are the same factors that
influence the initial selection of a useful life. These factors are: anticipated decline in
usefulness due to physical deterioration such as wear and tear; obsolescence due to new
technology; and the company's repair and maintenance policy.

216. Assume that Alabama Company purchased factory equipment on January 1, 2016, for $75,000. The equipment has
an estimated life of five years and an estimated residual value of $6,000. Alabama’s accountant is considering whether to
use the straight-line or the units-of-production method to depreciate the asset. Because the company is beginning a new
production process, the equipment will be used to produce 5,000 units in 2016, but production subsequent to 2016 will
increase by 5,000 units each year.
Required:
Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the equipment under both methods for
each of the five years of its life. Would the units-of production method yield reasonable results in this situation? Explain.
ANSWER:
Depreciation, accumulated depreciation, and book value for the straight-line method should
be as follows:

*Straight-line rate: 100%/5 years = 20%; double the straight-line rate = 40%. This 40% rate
will be applied in all years to the asset’s book value at the beginning of each year. As
depreciation is recorded, the book value declines. Thus, a constant rate is applied to a

218. Assume that Banker Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2016, for $96,000. The machine has an
estimated useful life of nine years and a residual value of $6,000. Banker has chosen to use the straight-line method of
depreciation. On January 1, 2018, Banker discovered that the machine would not be useful beyond December 31, 2021,
and estimated its value at that time to be $4,000.
Required:
1. Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the asset for each year 2016 to 2021.
