Plant Asset Useful Life

Buildings and improvements 10 to 39 years

Structures 5 to 15 years

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.

Requirements

1. Suppose iHeartMedia, Inc. purchases a new advertising structure for \(100,000 on August 1. The residual value of the structure is \)4,000 and the use fullife is 10 years. How would iHeartMedia record the depreciation expense on December 31 in the first year of use? What about the second year of use?

2. What would be the book value of the structure at the end of the first year? What would be the book value of the structure at the end of the second year?

3. What would be the impact on iHeartMedia, Inc. financial statements if they failed to record the adjusting entry related to the structure?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Book value of structure at the end of 2nd year: $86,400

Step by step solution

01

Recording of depreciation expense

As the new structure has been purchased on August 1, the depreciation for that particular structure would be computed for only 5 months. The depreciation for old structures would be computed on annual basis.

Depreciation=Cost-ResidualValueUsefulLife=$100,000-$4,00010=$9,600

Book value at the end of 1st and 2nd year

BookValueattheendof2ndyear=Bookvalueattheendof1styear-Depreciation=$96,000-$9,600=$86,400

03

Impact on financial statements

If the adjustment entry relating to the structure is not made, then the book value of the structure would be overvalued in the books and the depreciation expense would be undervalued and would overvalue the net income.
