Question

In Chapter 8 you learned about long-term assets, both tangible and intangible.   Expenditures for long-term assets are not expensed immediately rather they are capitalized (i.e. a new asset is created) and then expensed over their useful life (except for land and certain intangibles with an indefinite life which remain at cost unless an impairment has occurred).   Review the 10-K of Starbucks and answer the following:

Starbucks 10-K link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/829224/000082922414000041/sbux-9282014x10k.htm#s6571E5A222BF69F5F8068EA40E001FDA

All of the data for this is located on the Starbucks 10-k website.

What is the acquisition cost of PP&E on Starbucks books?  

How much depreciation have they taken on these assets as of the end of the 2014 year?

What is the net balance in goodwill at the end of the 2014 year?
