Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset    Acquisition-Cost   Expected-Life    Residual-Value   Time-Used

Land        $104,300                 Infinite               $100,000            10 years

Building     430,000               25 years                30,000             10 years

Machine     285,000                5 years                  10,000              2 years

Patent          80,000                10 years                     0                    3 years

Truck            21,000             100,000 miles           3,000         44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080
