Question

The following transactions and adjusting entries were completed by a paper-packaging company called Gravure Graphics International during 2018 and 2019. The company uses straight-line depreciation for trucks and other vehicles, double-declining-balance depreciation for buildings, and straight-line amortization for patents. 2018 January 2 Paid $95,000 cash to purchase storage shed components. January 3 Paid $5,000 cash to have the storage shed erected. The storage shed has an estimated life of 10 years and a residual value of $10,000. April 1 Paid $38,000 cash to purchase a pickup truck for use in the business. The truck has an estimated useful life of five years and a residual value of $8,000. May 13 Paid $250 cash for minor repairs to the pickup truck's upholstery. July 1 Paid $20,000 cash to purchase patent rights on a new paper bag manufacturing process. The patent is estimated to have a remaining useful life of five years. December 31 Recorded depreciation and amortization on the pickup truck, storage shed, and patent. 2019 June 30 sold the pickup truck for $33,000 cash. (Record the depreciation on the truck prior to recording its disposal.) December 31 Recorded depreciation on the storage shed. Also determined that the patent was impaired and wrote off its remaining book value (i.e., wrote down the book value to zero).

Answer 1

Particulars	Amount Debit	Amount Credit
By Amortization Expense	$         4,000.00
By Accumulated Depreciation-Storage Shed	$      20,000.00
By Accumulated Depreciation-Pickup Truck	$         6,000.00
To Patents		$          4,000.00
To Storage Shed		$        20,000.00
To Pickup Truck		$          6,000.00

Calculation:

Amortisation of Patents

Method :Straight Line

Amortisation = (Purchase Value-salvage value)/No of Years of Use

Amortisation = (20000-0)/5

Amortisation = $ 4000.

Depreciation of Pickup truck

Method :Straight Line

Depreciation = (Purchase Value-salvage value)/No of Years of Use

Depreciation = (38000-8000)/5

Depreciation = 30000/5

Depreciation = $ 6000

Depreciation on Storage Shed

Method :Double Declining Method

Depreciation = 2×Straight Lime Depreciation Percent × Book Value

Depreciation = 2 * 10% * 100000

Depreciation = $20000.
