Referring to PA7 where Kenzie Company purchased a 3-D printer for $450,000, consider how the purchase of the printer impacts not only depreciation expense each year but also the assets book value. What amount will be recorded as depreciation expense each year, and what will the book value be at the end of each year after depreciation is recorded?
Kam Company purchased a machine on January 2, 2019, for 20,000. The machine had an expected life of 8 years and a residual value of 300. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation is used. Required: 1. Compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life and book value at the end of each year. 2. Assuming that the company has a policy of always changing to the straight-line method at the midpoint of the assets life, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life. 3. Assuming that the company always changes to the straight-line method at the beginning of the year when the annual straight-line amount exceeds the double-declining-balance amount, compute the depreciation expense for each year of the assets life.
On May 10, 2019, Horan Company purchased equipment for 25,000. The equipment has an estimated service life of 5 years and zero residual value. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used. Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 for each of the following four alternatives: 1. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest day. (Use 12 months of 30 days each and round the daily depreciation rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest month. Assets purchased in the first half of the month are considered owned for the whole month. 3. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole year. Assets purchased in the first half of the year are considered owned for the whole year. 4. Horan records one-half years depreciation expense on all assets purchased during the year.
Hathaway Company purchased a copying machine for 8,700 on October 1, 2019. The machines residual value was 500 and its expected service life was 5 years.

Next Level Which method produces the highest book value at the end of 2020? 3. Next Level Which method produces the highest charge to income in 2020? 4.

The cost of the patent itself was only $12,000, but the market value of the patent is $150,000. The company expects to be able to use this patent for all twenty years of its life.
On July 1, 2018, Mundo Corporation purchased factory equipment for 50,000. Residual value was estimated at 2,000. The equipment will be depreciated over 10 years using the double-declining balance method. Counting the year of acquisition as one-half year, Mundo should record 2019 depredation expense of: a. 7,680 b. 9,000 c. 9,600 d. 10,000
Calico Inc. purchased a patent on a new drug it created. The patent cost $12,000. The patent has a life of twenty years, but Calico expects to be able to sell the drug for fifty years. Calculate the amortization expense and record the journal for the first years expense.
Calico Inc. purchased a patent on a new drug. The patent cost $21,000. The patent has a life of twenty years, but Calico only expects to be able to sell the drug for fifteen years. Calculate the amortization expense and record the journal for the first-year expense.
Colquhoun International purchases a warehouse for $300,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $15,000, and it is expected to be used for twenty-five years. Colquhoun uses the straight-line depreciation method for all warehouse buildings. After four years of recording depreciation, Colquhoun determines that the warehouse will be useful for only another fifteen years. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first four years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final fifteen years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year five.
