Victor Mineli, the new controller of Crane Company, has reviewed the expected useful lives and salvage values of selected depreciable assets at the beginning of 2017. Here are his findings:

Warehouse
Jan. 1, 2012 164,000 31,690 25 20 5,550 5,400

All assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. Crane Company uses a calendar year in preparing annual financial statements. After discussion, management has agreed to accept Victor’s proposed changes. (The “Proposed” useful life is total life, not remaining life.)

Answer 1

Solution :-

Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2017 :-

	Building	Warehouse
Revised annual depreciation	= [ $772,000 - $141,800 - $35,200 ] / 40 = [ $772,000 - 177,000 ] / 40 = 595,000 / 40 = $14,875	= [ $164,000 - $31,690 - $5,400 ] / [ 40 - 25 ] = [ 164,000 - 37,090 ] / 15 = 126,910 / 15 = $8,460

Prepare the entry to record depreciation on the building in 2017 :-

Particulars	Debit	Credit
Depreciation expense	$14,875
Accumulated depreciation - building		$14,875
