(Impairment) Roland Company uses special strapping equipment in its packaging business. The equipment was purchased in January 2016 for \(10,000,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2017, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Roland’s equipment. Roland’s controller estimates that expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be \)6,300,000 and that the fair value of the equipment is \(5,600,000. Roland intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Roland uses straight-line depreciation.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the journal entry (if any) to record the impairment at December 31, 2017.
  2. Prepare any journal entries for the equipment at December 31, 2018. The fair value of the equipment at December 31, 2018, is estimated to be \)5,900,000.
  3. Repeat the requirements for (a) and (b), assuming that Roland intends to dispose of the equipment and that it has not been disposed of as of December 31, 2018.

  3. Recovery of loss from impairment = $300,000

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Meaning of Impairment

The term "impairment" refers to a reduction of the market value of fixed or intangible assets, indicative of a reduction in the quantity, quality, or market value of an asset. The idea is that an asset should never be reported in a business's financial statements above the maximum amount that could be recouped through its sale.

(Depreciation Computation—Replacement, Nonmonetary Exchange) George Zidek Corporation bought a machine on June 1, 2015, for \(31,000, f.o.b. the place of manufacture. Freight to the point where it was set up was \)200, and \(500 was expended to install it. The machine’s useful life was estimated at 10 years, with a salvage value of \)2,500. On June 1, 2016, an essential part of the machine is replaced, at a cost of \(1,980, with one designed to reduce the cost of operating the machine. The cost of the old part and related depreciation cannot be determined with any accuracy.

On June 1, 2019, the company buys a new machine of greater capacity for \)35,000, delivered, trading in the old machine which has a fair value and trade-in allowance of \(20,000. To prepare the old machine for removal from the plant cost \)75, and expenditures to install the new one were \(1,500. It is estimated that the new machine has a useful life of 10 years, with a salvage value of \)4,000 at the end of that time. (The exchange has commercial substance.)

Instructions

Assuming that depreciation is to be computed on the straight-line basis, compute the annual depreciation on the new equipment that should be provided for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2019. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Tanaka Company has land that cost \(15,000,000. Its fair value on December 31, 2017, is \)20,000,000. Tanaka chooses the revaluation model to report its land. Explain how the land and its related valuation should be reported.

Cominsky Company purchased a machine on July 1, 2018, for \(28,000. Cominsky paid \)200 in title fees and county property tax of \(125 on the machine. In addition, Cominsky paid \)500 shipping charges for delivery, and \(475 was paid to a local contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine on the plant floor. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years with a salvage value of \)3,000. Determine the depreciation base of Cominsky’s new machine. Cominsky uses straightline depreciation.

Francisco Corporation is constructing a new building at a total initial cost of \(10,000,000. The building is expected to have a useful life of 50 years with no residual value. The building’s finished surfaces (e.g., roof cover and floor cover) are 5% of this cost and have a useful life of 20 years. Building services systems (e.g., electric, heating, and plumbing) are 20% of the cost and have a useful life of 25 years. The depreciation in the first year using component depreciation, assuming straight-line depreciation with no residual value, is:

  1. \)200,000.
  2. \(215,000.
  3. \)255,000.
  4. None of the above.
