Valix Finacc vol 1 Problem 18-5

Financial Accounting Volume 1 2008 Valix-Peralta
Chapter 18 Problem 18-5



2008    Resource property                                                                 3,960,000
                        Cash                                                                                                  3,960,000

            Building                                                                                    960,000
            Equipment                                                                           1,240,000
                        Cash                                                                                                  2,200,000    
                                                                                                                                                            Depletion (12,000 x 32)                                                        384,000
                        Accumulated depletion                                                                      384,000

            Cost of resource property                                                                            3,960,000             Less: Residual value                                                                                       120,000 Depletable cost                                                                                           3,840,000
            Divide by estimated output                                                                            120,000 Depletion rate per unit                                                                                            32
                                                                                                                                                            Depreciation (12,000 x 8)                                                       96,000
                        Accumulated depreciation – building                                                  96,000

                                                                960,000
            Depreciation rate per unit = ----------------   =  8
                                                               120,000

            The output method is used in computing the depreciation of the building             because the life of the resource property (5 years or 120,000 / 24,000) is                                 shorter than the life of the building (8 years).


Depreciation                                                                           310,000
                        Accumulated depreciation                                                                310,000
                                    (1,240,000 / 4 years = 310,000)

            The straight line method is used for the heavy equipment because the life of                      4 years is shorter than the life of the resource property of 5 years.

2009     Depletion                                                                                800,000
                        Accumulated depletion (25,000 x 32)                                      800,000

            Depreciation (25,000 x 8)                                                         200,000
                        Accumulated depreciation – building                                                200,000

            Depreciation                                                                           310,000
                        Accumulated depreciation – equipment                                           310,000
