Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one the company expects the truck to be driven for 26,000 miles; in year two, 30,000 miles; and in year three, 40,000 miles. Consider how the purchase of the truck will impact Montellos depreciation expense each year and what the trucks book value will be each year after depreciation expense is recorded.
Urquhart Global purchases a building to house its administrative offices for $500,000. The best estimate of the salvage value at the time of purchase was $45,000, and it is expected to be used for forty years. Urquhart uses the straight-line depreciation method for all buildings. After ten years of recording depreciation, Urquhart determines that the building will be useful for a total of fifty years instead of forty. Calculate annual depreciation expense for the first ten years. Determine the depreciation expense for the final forty years of the assets life, and create the journal entry for year eleven.
For each of the following unrelated situations, calculate the annual amortization expense and prepare a journal entry to record the expense: A. A patent with a seventeen-year remaining legal life was purchased for $850,000. The patent will be usable for another six years. B. A patent was acquired on a new tablet. The cost of the patent itself was only $12,000, but the market value of the patent is $150,000. The company expects to be able to use this patent for all twenty years of its life.

A company is considering the purchase of a capital asset for $120,000.Installation charges needed to make the asset serviceable will total $25,000. The asset will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method and an estimated salvage value (SV6) of $22,000. The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $27,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $25,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $5,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $500 per year each year thereafter. The after tax MARR is 15% and the effective tax rate is 25%. a. Compute the after-tax cash flows. b. Compute the after-tax present worth of the project, and use a uniform gradient in your formulation. c. The before-tax present worth of this asset is −$72,738.

Englehard purchases a slurry-based separator for the mining of the clay that costs $650,000 and has an estimated useful life of 10 years, a MACRS-GDS property class of 7 years, and an estimated salvage value of $75,000 after 10 years. It was financed using a $205,000 down payment and a loan of $445,000 over a period of 5 years with interest at 10%. Loan payments are made in equal annual amounts (principal plus interest) over the 5 years. a. What is the amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year? Depreciation = $ b. What is the book value at the end of the 3rd year? Book value = $ c. Returning to the original situation, what is the amount of the MACRS-GDS depreciation taken in the 3rd year if the separator is also sold during the 3rd year? Depreciation = $ Use depreciation percentages to 2 decimal places. Round final answers to whole dollar. Tolerance is ± 50.
