Question

A company has the following asset account balances: Buildings and equipment $9,200,000 Accumulated depreciation 1,200,000 Patents 750,000 Land Improvements 1,000,000 Land 5,000,000 How much will be reported on the balance sheet under property, plant, & equipment?

Answer 1

Answer:

$14,000,000

Explanation:

To be reported under Property, Plant and Equipment:

= (Buildings and equipment - Accumulated depreciation) + Land Improvements + Land

= ($9,200,000 - $1,200,000) + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $8,000,000 + $1,000,000 + 5,000,000

= $14,000,000

Note:

(1) Intangible Assets (Patents) will be reported after Plant, Property and Equipment. These are not a part of plant, Property and Equipment.

(2) There is no information about the useful life of the Land, so the value of land improvements will be included in the property, plant, & equipment section.
