Silver Tree Inc. purchased a building for $1,500,000 and depreciated it on a straight-line basis over a 30-year period. The estimated residual value is $250,000. After using the building for 10 years, Silver Tree realized that wear and tear on the building would wear it out before 30 years and that the estimated residual value should be $220,000. Starting with the 11th year, Silver Tree began depreciating the building over a revised total life of 20 years using the new residual value.

Requirement

Journalize depreciation expense on the building for years 10 and 11.

Mountain View Mining paid $500,000 for the right to extract mineral assets a 600,000-ton deposit. In addition to the purchase price, Mountain View also paid a $600 filing fee, a $1,200 license fee to the state of Arizona, and $70,000 for a geological survey of the property. Because Mountain View purchased the rights to the minerals only, it expects the asset to have zero residual value. During the first year, Mountain View removed and sold 75,000 tons of the minerals.

Requirement

Make journal entries to record (a) purchase of the minerals (debit Minerals), (b) payment of fees and other costs, and (c) depletion for the first year.

Great Electric Industries Corp. manufactures air conditioners. Assume that Great Electric recently paid $500,000 for a patent on a AC induction motors. Although it gives legal protection for 20 years, the patent is expected to provide a competitive advantage for only ten years.

Requirements

1. Assuming the straight-line method of amortization, make journal entries to record (a) the purchase of the patent and (b) amortization for year 1.

2. After using the patent for five years, Great Electric learns at an industry trade show that another company is designing a more efficient AC induction motors. On the basis of this new information, Great Electric decides, starting with year 6, to amortize the remaining cost of the patent over three remaining years, giving the patent a total useful life of eight years. Record amortization for year 6.
