Question

Timberly Construction makes a lump-sum purchase of several assets on January 1 at a total cash price of
$900,000. The estimated market values of the purchased assets are building, $508,800; land, $297,600;
land improvements, $28,800; and four vehicles, $124,800.
Required
1. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased. Prepare the journal entry to
record the purchase.
2. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the building using the straight-line method, assuming
a 15-year life and a $27,000 salvage value.
3. Compute the first-year depreciation expense on the land improvements assuming a five-year life and
double-declining-balance depreciation.
Analysis Component
4. Compared to straight-line depreciation, does accelerated depreciation result in payment of less total
taxes over the asset’s life?
