On June 1, 2019, Turner Corporation purchased land, a building, and some equipment for $540,000. The following information is available concerning the property purchased: Current Market Value Land ....................... 142,500 Building ................... 262,200 Equipment .................. 165,300 Before the property could be used, Turner had to spend $26,000 to renovate the building and $14,000 to put the equipment in working order. Assume the equipment was assigned a $9,500 residual value, a 15-year life, and was being depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method. Calculate the book value of the equipment at December 31, 2025.
Answer :
Book value of the equipment at December 31, 2025 = $101,685
Explanation :
Total market values of asets = 142,500 + 262,200 +165,300 = $570,000
Cost assigned to equipment = [ ($165,300 / $570,000) * $540,000 ] + $14,000 = $170,600
Depreciation as staight line method = [ ($170,600 - $9,500) / 15 years ] = $10,740
Accumulated Depreciation till December 31, 2025 = $4,475 + $64,440 = $68,915
Book value of the equipment at December 31, 2025
= Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation = $170,600 - $68,915 = $101,685
