(Nonmonetary Exchange) Dana Ashbrook Inc. has negotiated the purchase of a new piece of automatic equipment at a price of \(8,000 plus trade-in, f.o.b. factory. Dana Ashbrook Inc. paid \)8,000 cash and traded in used equipment. The used equipment had originally cost \(62,000; it had a book value of \)42,000 and a secondhand fair value of \(47,800, as indicated by recent transactions involving similar equipment. Freight and installation charges for the new equipment required a cash payment of \)1,100.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the general journal entry to record this transaction, assuming that the exchange has commercial substance.
  2. Assuming the same facts as in (a) except that fair value information for the assets exchanged is not determinable, prepare the general journal entry to record this transaction.

(Capitalization of Interest) Laserwords Inc. is a book distributor that had been operating in its original facility since 1987. The increase in certification programs and continuing education requirements in several professions has contributed to an annual growth rate of 15% for Laserwords since 2012. Laserwords’ original facility became obsolete by early 2017 because of the increased sales volume and the fact that Laserwords now carries CDs in addition to books.

On June 1, 2017, Laserwords contracted with Black Construction to have a new building constructed for \(4,000,000 on land owned by Laserwords. The payments made by Laserwords to Black Construction are shown in the schedule below.

\(4,000,000

Construction was completed and the building was ready for occupancy on May 27, 2018. Laserwords had no new borrowings directly associated with the new building but had the following debt outstanding at May 31, 2018, the end of its fiscal year

10%, 5-year note payable of \)2,000,000, dated April 1, 2014, with interest payable annually on April 1.

12%, 10-year bond issue of $3,000,000 sold at par on June 30, 2010, with interest payable annually on June 30.

The new building qualifies for interest capitalization. The effect of capitalizing the interest on the new building, compared with the effect of expensing the interest, is material.

Instructions

  1. Compute the weighted-average accumulated expenditures on Laserwords’ new building during the capitalization period.
  2. Compute the avoidable interest on Laserwords’ new building. (Round to one decimal place.)
  3. Some interest cost of Laserwords Inc. is capitalized for the year ended May 31, 2018.
    1. Identify the items relating to interest costs that must be disclosed in Laserwords’ financial statements.
    2. Compute the amount of each of the items that must be disclosed.
