A machine costing $75,000 is purchased on September 1, Year 1. The machine is estimated to have a salvage value of $10,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. Double-declining-balance depreciation is used. If the machine is sold on December 31, Year 3 for $13,000, the journal entry to record the sale will include:

Ordinary repairs meet all of the following criteria except:

Peavey Enterprises purchased a depreciable asset for $22,000 on April 1, Year 1. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over its four-year useful life. Assuming the asset's salvage value is $2,000, what will be the amount of accumulated depreciation on this asset on December 31, Year 3?

A company purchased equipment valued at $66,000. It traded in old equipment for a $9,000 trade-in allowance and the company paid $57,000 cash with the trade-in. The old equipment cost $44,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $36,000. This transaction has commercial substance. What is the recorded value of the new equipment?

A company purchased a tract of land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The salvage value of the land is expected to be $250,000. The depletion expense per ton of ore is:

Hunter Sailing Company exchanged an old sailboat for a new one. The old sailboat had a cost of $160,000 and accumulated depreciation of $100,000. The new sailboat had an invoice price of $270,000. Hunter received a trade in allowance of $70,000 on the old sailboat, which meant the company paid $200,000 in addition to the old sailboat to acquire the new sailboat. If this transaction lacks commercial substance, what amount of gain or loss should be recorded on this exchange?

What are the general accounting procedures for recording asset disposals?

The term, obsolescence, as it relates to the useful life of an asset, refers to:

Flask Company reports net sales of $4,315 million; cost of goods sold of $2,808 million; net income of $283 million; and average total assets of $2,136. Compute its total asset turnover.

The double-declining balance method is applied by (1) computing the asset's straight-line depreciation rate, (2) doubling it, (3) subtracting salvage value from cost, and (4) multiplying the rate times the book value.

Revenue expenditures to keep an asset in normal, good operating condition; they are necessary if an asset is to perform to expectations over its useful life are called _____________________.

A total asset turnover ratio of 3.5 indicates that:

The cost of fees for insuring the title and any accrued property taxes are included in the cost of land.

Greene Company purchased a machine for $75,000 that was expected to last 6 years and to have a salvage value of $6,000. At the beginning of the machine's fourth year the company decided that the estimated useful life should be revised to a total of 10 years instead of 6 years. Also, the salvage value was re-estimated to be $5,500. Straight-line depreciation was used throughout the machine's life. Calculate the depreciation expense for the fourth year of the machine's useful life.

An accelerated depreciation method yields larger depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's life and less depreciation expense in later years.

On July 1 of the current year, Glover Mining Co. pays $5,400,000 for land estimated to contain 7,200,000 tons of recoverable ore. It installs machinery on July 3 costing $864,000 that has an 8 year life and no salvage value and is capable of mining the ore deposit in six years. The company removes and sells 745,000 tons of ore during its first six months of operations ending on December 31. Depreciation of the machinery is in proportion to the mine's depletion as the machinery will be abandoned after the ore is mined. Prepare the entries Glover must record for (a) the purchase of the ore deposit, (b) the costs and installation of the machinery, (c) the depletion assuming the land has a zero salvage value, and (d) the depreciation on the machinery.

Accounting for the exchange of assets depends on whether the transaction has commercial substance; commercial substance implies that it alters the company's future cash flows.

An asset's cost includes all normal and reasonable expenditures necessary to get the asset in place and ready for its intended use.
