Depreciation amount at the end of one year is $10,900
Explanation:
Land is not depreciated because land is assumed to have an unlimited useful life. Building is a long lived assest and it has limited useful lives. Therefore, building is depreciated assets.
The building acquisition cost is = Building transaction value + building transfer costs + Renovation cost
= $88,000 + $4,000 + $25,000
= $117,000
Depreciation value = The building acquisition cost - The residual value

Return on equity in 2017 is 12% while that of 2016 is 12.5%
Explanation:
The formula for return on equity is given as net income/equity.
The net income is $120000 for 2017 and $100000 for 2016.
Shareholders' average equity is 1000000 shares in 2017 and 800000 shares in 2016.
2017 2016
Return on equity 120000/1000000 100000/800000
Return on equity 0.12 0.125
The return on equity is 12.0% in 2017 and 12.5% in 2016.
From all indications, the issue of additional shares to the tune of $120000 lead to a reduction in return on equity in 2017 by 0.5%
The answer would have to be true
