Question

Exercise 22-12 On January 1, 2014, Larkspur Company purchased a building and equipment that have the following useful lives, salvage values, and costs. Building, 40-year estimated useful life, $46,800 salvage value, $762,400 cost Equipment, 12-year estimated useful life, $10,000 salvage value, $101,800 cost The building has been depreciated under the double-declining-balance method through 2017. In 2018, the company decided to switch to the straight-line method of depreciation. Larkspur also decided to change the total useful life of the equipment to 9 years, with a salvage value of $4,800 at the end of that time. The equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method. (a) Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the depreciation expense on the building in 2018. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter o for the amounts.) Credit Debit Account Titles and Explanation (b) Compute depreciation expense on the equipment for 2018. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 12s.) 2018 Depreciation expense

Answer 1

1) Double decline rate = 100/40*2 = 5%

Book value of building on December 31,2017 = 762400*95%*95%*95%*95% = 620980

2018 Depreciation = 620980-46800/36 = 15949

Account title and explanation	Debit	Credit
Depreciation expense	15949
Accumulated depreciation-Building		15949

2) Accumulated depreciation (2014 to 2017) = (101800-10000/12) = 7650*4 = 30600

2018 Depreciation expense = (101800-30600-4800)/5 = 13280
