Question: Determining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives

On January 3, 2018, Speedy Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of \(67,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedy spent \)3,000 painting it, \(1,200 replacing tires, and \)3,500 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $5,100. The truck鈥檚 annual mileage is expected to be 20,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,800 miles in the fifth year鈥�92,800 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Alec Rivera, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).

Requirements

1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.

2. Speedy prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. Consider the first year that Speedy uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company鈥檚 objectives.

Question: What is a lump-sum purchase, and how is it accounted for?

Western Bank & Trust purchased land and a building for the lump sum of $3,000,000. To get the maximum tax deduction, Western allocated 90% of the purchase price to the building and only 10% to the land. A more realistic allocation would have been 70% to the building and 30% to the land.

Requirements

1. Explain the tax advantage of allocating too much to the building and too little to the land.

2. Was Western鈥檚 allocation ethical? If so, state why. If not, why not? Identify who was harmed.

Alpha Communication purchased equipment on January 1, 2018, for \(27,500. Suppose Alpha Communication sold the equipment for \)20,000 on December 31, 2020. Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 2020, was $10,000. Journalize the sale of the equipment, assuming straight-line depreciation was used.
