kirill [66]
<h3>Amount of cost to the building is $69,645 </h3>

Explanation:

The total property value of Tonto Company = $140,000.

The total property (building, equipment and land) value of Tonto Company = $140,000.

The building was appraised at $98,000,  

The land was appraised at $63,000  

The equipment was appraised at $36,000.

  • The total current value of the 3 assets = $98,000 + $63,000 + $36,000
  • The total current value of the 3 assets = $197,000.
  • Amount of cost to the building = ($98,000 x $140,000) / $197,000.
  • Amount of cost to the building = $69,644.67

Amount of cost to the building = $69,645

zzz [600]

Answer:

$10,500

Explanation:

The computation of depreciation expense using the straight line method is seen below;

= [Original cost - Residual value] ÷ Useful life

= [$160,000 - $20,000] ÷ 10 years

= [$140,000] ÷ 10 years

= $14,000

Using straight line method, the depreciation value is the same for the remaining useful life.

Also, from April 1 to 31 December(9 months), the depreciation expense would be;

= $14,000 × 9/12

= $10,500

Therefore, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense at December 31, 2015 is $10,500
