EXERCISE 10-1

 

(a)   Under the cost principle, the acquisition cost for a plant asset includes all expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. For example, the cost of factory machinery includes the purchase price, freight costs paid by the purchaser, insurance costs during transit, and installation costs.

 

        Cost is measured by the cash paid in a transaction, or by the cash equiv-alent price paid when noncash assets are used in payment. The cash equivalent price is equal to the fair market value of the asset given up
or the fair market value of the asset received, whichever is more clearly determinable.

EXERCISE 10-4

 

(a)   Straight-line method:

 

         = $15,400 per year.

 

        2002 depreciation = $15,400 X 3/12 = $3,850.

 

(b)   Units-of-activity method:

 

           = $1.10 per hour.

 

        2002 depreciation = 1,700 hours X $1.10 = $1,870.

 

(c)   Declining-balance method:

 

        2002 depreciation = $89,000 X 40% X 3/12 = $8,900.

        Book value January 1, 2003 = $89,000 – $8,900 = $80,100.

        2003 depreciation = $80,100 X 40% = $32,040.

        (3)   Depreciation cost per unit = ($60,000 – $5,000)/125,000 units = $.44 per unit.

 

                Annual Depreciation Expense

 

                2002:  $.44 X 45,000 = $19,800

                2003:   .44 X 35,000 =  15,400

(c)   The declining-balance method reports the highest amount of depreci­ation expense the first year while the straight-line method reports the lowest. In the fourth year, the straight-line method reports the highest amount of depreciation expense while the declining-balance method reports the lowest.

 

        These facts occur because the declining-balance method is an accel­erated depreciation method in which the largest amount of depreciation is recognized in the early years of the asset’s life. If the straight-line method is used, the same amount of depreciation expense is recognized each year. Therefore, in the early years less depreciation expense will be recognized under this method than under the declining-balance method while more will be recognized in the later years.

 

        The amount of depreciation expense recognized using the units-of-activ­ity method is dependent on production, so this method could recognize more or less depreciation expense than the other two methods in any year depending on output.

 

        No matter which of the three methods is used, the same total amount of depreciation expense will be recognized over the four-year period.
