What would be the net book value of the property (land and building) at the end of year 2?2. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase of the property, including all relevant expenditures. Assume that all transactions were for cash and that all purchases occurred at the start of the year.3. Compute straight-line depreciation at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $9,000 estimated residual value. Straight-line depreciation 106,000

Answer 1

Answer:

Sahia Company

1. Net book value of the property at the end of year 2 = $217,800.

2. Journal entry to record the purchase:

Debit Property (land and building) $241,000

Credit Cash Account $241,000

To record the acquisition of the property.

3. Straight-line depreciation (on building only) = $11,600.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Bought building for cash = $90,000

Bought land for cash =         110,000

Transfer cost =                       10,000

Renovation on building =      31,000

Book value of property =  $241,000

Depreciation:

Building cost = $90,000

Transfer cost        4,500 ($10,000*90,000/200,000)

Renovation         31,000

Total cost =    $125,500

Residual value     9,000

Depreciable value = $116,000

Depreciation per annum = $11,600 ($116,000/10)

a) Land is not subject to depreciation and its value is $115,500 or $110,000 + 5,500 ($10,000*110,000/200,000).

b) The net book value of the property at the end of year 2 is

Building $125,500 - 23,200 = $102,300

Land =                                          115,500

Net book value of property =  $217,800
