Answer 1

Building :

Book value of building = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation

= 810,000 - 115,950

= $694,050

Revised depreciation cost = Book value of building - Proposed salvage value

= 694,050 - 73,650

= $620,400

Revised annual depreciation = Revised depreciation cost/Remaining estimated life

= 620,400/44

= $14,100

Warehouse :

Book value of Warehouse = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation

= 116,000 - 22,360

= $93,640

Revised depreciation cost = Book value of Warehouse - Proposed salvage value

= 93,640 - 27,640

= $66,000

Revised annual depreciation = Revised depreciation cost/Remaining estimated life

= 66,000/15

= $4,400
