On January 1, Year 1, Webb Construction Company overhauled four
cranes, resulting in a slight increase in the life of the cranes.
Such overhauls occur regularly at two-year intervals and have been
treated as a maintenance expense in the past. Management is
considering whether to capitalize this year’s $20,920 cash cost in
the Cranes asset account or to expense it as a maintenance expense.
Assume that the cranes have a remaining useful life of two years
and no expected salvage value. Assume straight-line
depreciation.
Required
a. Determine the amount of additional depreciation
expense Webb would recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were
capitalized in the Cranes account.
b. Determine the amount of expense Webb would
recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were recognized as
maintenance expense.
c. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash
flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost
were capitalized and expensed through depreciation charges.
d. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash
flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost
were recognized as maintenance expense.
