On January 9, 20X6, J. T. Orlando Co. paid $240,000 for a computer system. In

addition to the basic purchase price, the company paid a setup fee of $2,000,
$8,000 sales tax, and $30,000 for a special platform on which to place the
computer. J. T. Orlando management estimates that the computer will remain in
service for five years and have a residual value of $20,000. The computer will
process 30,000 documents the first year, with annual processing decreasing by
2,500 documents during each of the next four years (that is, 27,500 documents in
year 20X7; 25,000 documents in year 20X8; and so on). In trying to decide which
depreciation method to use, the company president has requested a depreciation
schedule for each of the two depreciation methods (straight-line and units-of-
production)
Asset cost: $240,000 + $2,000 + $8,000 + $30,000 = 280,000

Depreciation for each year: ($280,000 − $20,000) / 5 years = $52,000

On January 1, 2010, XYZ Co purchased equipment for $550,000. XYZ expects the
equipment to remain useful for 5 years and to have a residual value of $50,000.
The company uses the straight-line method to depreciate its equipment. The
company used the equipment for two years and sold it on January 1, 2012 for
$370,000.

Required:

1. Record the sale of the equipment on January 1, 2012.

2. Record the sale of the equipment on January 1, 2012 assuming it was sold
for $340,000.

Depreciation expense = 550,000 – 50,000/5 = $100,000

Accumulated depreciation on Jan 1, 2012 = 100,000 X 2 = 200,000

Cash received = 370,000

Book value = 550,000 – 200,000 = 350,000

Gain on sale = 20,000

Entry:

Cash 370,000
Accumulated depreciation 200,000

Equipment 550,000
Gain on sale of equipment 20,000

Intangibles and Amortization

Suppose ABC pays $170,000 to acquire a patent on January 1, and the business
believes the useful life is 5 years

Dr. Patent 170,000

Cr. Cash 170,000

Amortization

Dr. Amortization expense (170,000/5) 34,000

Cr. Accumulated amortization/ patent 34,000

If there is no lifetime, the asset is tested for impairment

The carrying amount of a factory was $700 million. The recoverable amount was
$300 million. Toshiba recognized an impairment loss of $400 million with the
following journal entry

Dr. Impairment loss 400,000,000

Cr. Accumulated depreciation and impairment loss 400,000,000

If the asset was intangible one

We will do the following

Dr. impairment loss

Cr. (the intangible assets itself)

Natural resources and depletion

An oil lease costs Royal Dutch Shell $100,000 and contain an estimated 10,000
barrels of oil. If 3,000 barrels are extracted (assuming the company paid cash, $10
a barrel)

Dr. Depletion expense (3000*10) 30,000

Cr. Accumulated Depletion 30,000
