E9-21 Changing an asset’s useful life and residual value
Learning Objective 2
Yr. 16 $14,350
Salem Hardware Consultants purchased a building for $540,000 and depreciated it on a
straight-line basis over a 40-year period. The estimated residual value is $100,000. After using
the building for 15 years, Salem realized that wear and tear on the building would wear it out
before 40 years and that the estimated residual value should be $88,000. Starting with the 16th
year, Salem began depreciating the building over a revised total life of 35 years using the new
residual value. Journalize depreciation expense on the building for years 15 and 16.

E9-24 Journalizing natural resource depletion
Learning Objective 4
$1.30 per ton
Cannon Mountain Mining paid $462,300 for the right to extract mineral assets from a
400,000-ton deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Cannon also paid a $900 filing fee, a
$1,800 license fee to the state of Nevada, and $55,000 for a geological survey of the property.
Because Cannon purchased the rights to the minerals only and did not purchase the land, it
expects the asset to have zero residual value. During the first year, Cannon removed and sold
50,000 tons of the minerals. Make journal entries to record (a) purchase of the minerals (debit
Minerals), (b) payment of fees and other costs, and (c) depletion for the first year.

E9-25 Handling acquisition of patent, amortization, and change in useful life
Learning Objectives 2, 5
2. Amort. Exp. $50,000
Melbourn Printers (MP) manufactures printers. Assume that MP recently paid $200,000 for a
patent on a new laser printer. Although it gives legal protection for 20 years, the patent is
expected to provide a competitive advantage for only eight years.
Requirements
1. Assuming the straight-line method of amortization, make journal entries to record (a) the
purchase of the patent and (b) amortization for the first full year.
2. After using the patent for four years, MP learns at an industry trade show that another
company is designing a more efficient printer. On the basis of this new information, MP
decides, starting with Year 5, to amortize the remaining cost of the patent over two
remaining years, giving the patent a total useful life of six years. Record amortization for
Year 5.
