If anderson applies the initial value method in accounting for kenneth, what is the consolidated balance for the equipment account as of december 31, 2021?

Answer 1

If Anderson applies the initial value method in accounting for Kenneth, the consolidated balance for the Equipment account as of December 31, 2021 will be $1,104,000.

Excess amortizations: (120,000 - 90,000 = 30,000/10 = 3,000 per year).

2021 Balance Goehler BV 975,000 + Kenneth BV 105,000 + Fair value adjustment 30,000 - amortization for 2017 and 2018 (3,000 × 2) = 1,104,000

What is Equipment account?

Equipment is a long-term asset account that records the cost of the equipment and is noncurrent. The income statement account will be debited for equipment depreciation over the course of its useful life Depreciation Expense and crediting the balance sheet account Accumulated Depreciation.

A company's usage of equipment as a type of fixed asset is recorded on the balance sheet under the line item "property, plant, and equipment" in the long-term assets section. Equipment is capitalized rather than immediately expensed when it is bought and put into operation. This makes sense given that these are regarded as concrete, long-term assets that help the company over a considerable amount of time. The cost of the assets is then written down throughout the duration of the machinery's useful life.
