- IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION On January 1, 20-1, Dans Demolition purchased two jackhammers for 2,500 each with a salvage value of 100 each and estimated useful lives of four years. On January 1, 20-2, a stronger blade to improve performance was installed in Jackhammer A for 800 cash and the compressor was replaced in Jackhammer B for 200 cash. The compressor is expected to extend the life of Jackhammer B one year beyond the original estimate. REQUIRED 1. Using the straight-line method, prepare general journal entries for depreciation on December 31, 20-1, for Jackhammers A and B. 2. Enter the transactions for January 20-2 in a general journal. 3. Assuming no other additions, improvements, or replacements, calculate the depreciation expense for each jackhammer for 20-2 through 20-4.arrow_forwardPrepare journal entries for the following transactions: a. A machine with a cost of 10,000 and accumulated depreciation of 8,000 was sold for 2,500. b.
