Accounting for depletion of natural resources Ajax Petroleum holds huge reserves of oil assets. Assume that at the end of 2018, Ajax Petroleum’s cost of oil reserves totaled $27,000,000, representing 3,000,000 barrels of oil.

Requirements

  1. Which method does Ajax Petroleum use to compute depletion?
  2. Suppose Ajax Petroleum removed and sold 500,000 barrels of oil during 2019. Journalize depletion expense for 2019.

Western Bank & Trust purchased land and a building for the lump sum of $3,000,000. To get the maximum tax deduction, Western allocated 90% of the purchase price to the building and only 10% to the land. A more realistic allocation would have been 70% to the building and 30% to the land.

Requirements

1. Explain the tax advantage of allocating too much to the building and too little to the land.

2. Was Western’s allocation ethical? If so, state why. If not, why not? Identify who was harmed.

Handling acquisition of patent, amortization, and change in useful life Melbourn Printers (MP) manufactures printers. Assume that MP recently paid $200,000 for a patent on a new laser printer. Although it gives legal protection for 20 years, the patent is expected to provide a competitive advantage for only eight 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 the first full year.

2. After using the patent for four years, MP learns at an industry trade show that another company is designing a more efficient printer. On the basis of this new information, MP decides, starting with Year 5, to amortize the remaining cost of the patent over two remaining years, giving the patent a total useful life of six years. Record amortization for Year 5.

How is discarding of a plant asset different from selling a plant asset?

Question: Determining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management objectives

On January 3, 2018, Speedy Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of \(67,000. Before placing the truck in service, Speedy spent \)3,000 painting it, \(1,200 replacing tires, and \)3,500 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $5,100. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 20,000 miles in each of the first four years and 12,800 miles in the fifth year—92,800 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Alec Rivera, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).

Requirements

1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.

2. Speedy prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use. Consider the first year that Speedy uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company’s objectives.
