Hanson Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were \(1,800,000 on March 1, \)1,200,000 on June 1, and $3,000,000 on December 31. Compute Hanson’s weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes.

Martin Buber Co. purchased land as a factory site for \(400,000. The process of tearing down two old buildings on the site and constructing the factory required 6 months. The company paid \)42,000 to raze the old buildings and sold salvaged lumber and brick for \(6,300. Legal fees of \)1,850 were paid for title investigation and drawing the purchase contract. Martin Buber paid \(2,200 to an engineering firm for a land survey, and \)68,000 for drawing the factory plans. The land survey had to be made before definitive plans could be drawn. Title insurance on the property cost \(1,500, and a liability insurance premium paid during construction was \)900. The contractor’s charge for construction was \(2,740,000. The company paid the contractor in two installments: \)1,200,000 at the end of 3 months and \(1,540,000 upon completion. Interest costs of \)170,000 were incurred to finance the construction. Instructions Determine the cost of the land and the cost of the building as they should be recorded on the books of Martin Buber Co. Assume that the land survey was for the building.

  1. Belanna Industries Inc. acquired land, buildings, and equipment from a bankrupt company, Torres Co., for a lump-sum price of \(700,000. At the time of purchase, Torres’s assets had the following book and appraisal values.

\(150,000

Buildings

Equipment

To be conservative, the company decided to take the lower of the two values for each asset acquired. The following entry was made.

Land 150,000

Buildings 250,000

Equipment 300,000

Cash 700,000

  1. Harry Enterprises purchased store equipment by making a \)2,000 cash down payment and signing a 1-year, \(23,000, 10% note payable. The purchase was recorded as follows.

Equipment 27,300

Cash 2,000

Notes Payable 23,000

Interest Payable 2,300

  1. Kim Company purchased office equipment for \)20,000, terms 2/10, n/30. Because the company intended to take the discount, it made no entry until it paid for the acquisition. The entry was:

Equipment 20,000

Cash 19,600

Purchase Discounts 400

  1. Kaisson Inc. recently received at zero cost land from the Village of Cardassia as an inducement to locate its business in the Village. The appraised value of the land is \(27,000. The company made no entry to record the land because it had no cost basis.
  2. Zimmerman Company built a warehouse for \)600,000. It could have purchased the building for $740,000. The controller made the following entry.

Buildings740,000

Cash 600,000

Profit on Construction 140,000

Instructions

Prepare the entry that should have been made at the date of each acquisition.

(Entries for Disposition of Assets) On December 31, 2017, Travis Tritt Inc. has a machine with a book value of \(940,000. The original cost and related accumulated depreciation at this date are as follows.

Machine

\)1,300,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation

360,000

Book value

\( 940,000

Depreciation is computed at \)60,000 per year on a straight-line basis.

Instructions

Presented below is a set of independent situations. For each independent situation, indicate the journal entry to be made to record the transaction. Make sure that depreciation entries are made to update the book value of the machine prior to its disposal.

  1. A fire completely destroys the machine on August 31, 2018. An insurance settlement of \(430,000 was received for this casualty. Assume the settlement was received immediately.
  2. On April 1, 2018, Tritt sold the machine for \)1,040,000 to Dwight Yoakam Company.
  3. On July 31, 2018, the company donated this machine to the Mountain King City Council. The fair value of the machine at the time of the donation was estimated to be $1,100,000.

(Acquisition, Improvements, and Sale of Realty) Tonkawa Company purchased land for use as its corporate headquarters. A small factory that was on the land when it was purchased was torn down before construction of the office building began. Furthermore, a substantial amount of rock blasting and removal had to be done to the site before construction of the building foundation began. Because the office building was set back on the land far from the public road, Tonkawa Company had the contractor construct a paved road that led from the public road to the parking lot of the office building.

Three years after the office building was occupied, Tonkawa Company added four stories to the office building. The four stories had an estimated useful life of 5 years more than the remaining estimated useful life of the original office building.

Ten years later, the land and building were sold at an amount more than their net book value, and Tonkawa Company had a new office building constructed in another state for use as its new corporate headquarters.

Instructions

  1. Which of the expenditures above should be capitalized? How should each be depreciated or amortized? Discuss the rationale for your answers.
  2. How would the sale of the land and building be accounted for? Include in your answer an explanation of how to determine the net book value at the date of sale. Discuss the rationale for your answer.

Crowe Company purchased a heavy-duty truck on July 1, 2014, for \(30,000. It was estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years and then would have a trade-in value of \)6,000. The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1, 2018, for a similar truck costing \(42,000; \)16,000 was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $26,000 was paid in cash. A comparison of expected cash flows for the trucks indicates the exchange lacks commercial substance. What is the entry to record the trade-in?
