Exam 9: Property,Plant,and Equipment; Intangibles; and Goodwill

If an asset is purchased by giving a non-interest-bearing note payable,the use of an unrealistically low interest rate will cause the asset to be recorded at a cost that is too low and the interest expense amount reported on the income statement also will be too low.

The cost of a major inspection of an airplane engine would be capitalized if it occurred several times per year.

When a capital asset (such as land or buildings) is purchased,any unpaid property taxes (for the period prior to the purchase date) that are paid by the purchaser should be recorded as part of the cost of the asset.

Property taxes accrued u to the date of the purchase of a capital asset should be included in the recorded cost of the asset.

(i) Brick work amounting to $900 was performed on the building's exterior.This amount is deemed material and the work is expected to last for 20 years.

A donated fixed asset for which the fair value has been determined should be recorded as a debit to capital assets and a credit to:

Harris Company has an old asset that originally cost $115,000 (accumulated amortization,$56,000).Its current market value is $105,001.Harris Company purchased another asset by paying cash $10,500 and trading in the old asset.The new asset had a list price of $135,000 and a cash price of $120,001.The assets are similar.Harris Company should record the cost of the new machine at $110,000:

A primary principle in recording and reporting capital assets other than land is that they are recorded at cost when acquired and subsequently are reported at cost or cost less accumulated amortization.

On January 1^st,2013,PC Inc.disposed of an old elevator for $10,000.The elevator had a carrying value $20,000 (Cost: $100,000,Accumulated Amortization: $80,000).On January 2^nd,2013,a new elevator was purchased for $200,000 with an expected useful life of 20 years and a salvage value of $40,000.Ignoring any of PC's other long-lived assets,the amount of amortization expense that PC would record for 2013 would be:

EC has an old asset that originally cost $150,000; the accumulated amortization is $76,000.Its current market value is $81,000.This old asset is exchanged for another asset (new) that has a list price of $100,000.EC should record the following as the cost of the new asset received,assuming that the two assets are: Dissimilar Similar 1 \ 100,000 \ 81,000 2 \ 81,000 \ 76,000 3 \ 81,000 \ 74,000 4 \ 90,000 \ 74,000

Under the cost model (IFRS) impairment losses are irreversible.

XYZ acquired Machine N from ABC.The machine had a cash price of $6,250.XYZ paid for the machine with $1,500 cash and traded in used Machine O,which is similar to N.Machine O originally cost $7,500 and had accumulated amortization of $3,000.Machine N had a market value of $5,500. Give the entry for XYZ to record the exchange.

CA acquired a tract of land.The seller quoted a price of $30,000 cash,plus a $50,000,16 percent,one-year,interest-bearing note payable.During later negotiations,the land was appraised by a local real estate agent at $76,000 and was shown on the city tax rolls at an assessed value for tax purposes at $63,000.After considerable negotiation,CA paid $25,000 cash and signed a two-year non-interest-bearing note,payable in two instalments of $30,000 each at the end of each of the next 2 years.The going rate of interest for such transactions was 12 percent.Give the entry to record the land acquisition.

On January 1,2012,BC debited $4,000 of ordinary repairs to the asset account,Machinery.The machinery is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10-years with no residual value.On December 31,2014,the error was discovered.Give the entry,or entries,to correct the accounts on that date.

Under the Fair Value Model,tangible and intangible assets with a fair market value are revalued to fair value every year.

A consideration in determining the useful life of an intangible asset is not the:

Costs incurred by a company that may develo its own goodwill internally should be:

Under both ASPE and IFRS,borrowing costs on qualifying self-constructed assets may be capitalized or expensed.

Under IFRS,interest on generalized borrowings used to construct a qualifying asset must be capitalized using the company's weighted average cost of capital.

A firm currently occupies a facility on land it also owns.The firm decides to raze this facility and in its place construct a new state-of-the-art complex.The gross cost to raze the old facility is $100,000 but the firm was able to sell some of the salvage material for $15,000.The book value of the old facility was $30,000 before demolition.The new complex was built at a cost of $400,000,excluding any other items mentioned previously in this question. What is the capitalized cost of the new complex?
