On January 1, 2016, Crane Corporation purchased a building to
use as its factory, and some equipment to manufacture its product.
The following information was determined at the time of
purchase:
Cost | Useful Life | Residual Value | Depreciation | |||||
Building | $2,320,000 | 20 years | $464,000 | Double Declining | ||||
Equipment | $1,060,000 | 25 years | $106,000 | Straight Line |
On January 1, 2019, Crane decided to change the depreciation method
for the building to the straight-line method, as a result of a
change in the pattern of benefits received. There was no change to
the total useful life or the residual value of the building.
Crane also decided that the equipment would have a total useful
life of only 13 years, with a residual value of only $50,000. The
depreciation method for the equipment did not change. Prepare the
journal entries to record depreciation for both assets for
2019.
Let us find the book value of the building and equipment at the starting of 2019
FOr building it is below:
Book value of the building at end of 3 years =1691280
From now the useful life is 17 years since 3 years passed
Depreciation=(1691280-464000)/17=72192.94
Depreciation expense(db)72192.94
Accumulated depreciation-building(cR)72192.94
For the equipment the yearly depreciation=(cost-salvage value)/years
=(1060000-106000)/25=38160
for 3 years the depreciaition accumulated is =38160*3=114480
Book value =1060000-114480=945520
Depreciation now chnaged to 13 years so years lef is 10 years new ddepreciation
=(945520-106000)/10=83952
Depreciation equipment(db)83952
accumulated depreciation-equipment(cR)83952
