, DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. a. Property, plant, and equipment or Fixed assets
b. Current assets (merchandise inventory)
2. Real estate acquired as speculation should be listed in the balance sheet under the caption
“Investments,” below the Current Assets section.
3. $1,100,000
4. Capital expenditures include the cost of acquiring fixed assets and the cost of improving an
asset. These costs are recorded by increasing (debiting) a fixed asset account. Capital
expenditures also include the costs of extraordinary repairs, which are recorded by decreasing
(debiting) the asset’s accumulated depreciation account. Revenue expenditures are recorded as
expenses and are costs that benefit only the current period and are incurred for normal
maintenance and repairs of fixed assets.
5. Capital expenditure
6. 12 years
7. a. No
b. No
8. a. An accelerated depreciation method is most appropriate for situations in which the decline
in productivity or earning power of the asset is proportionately greater in the early years of
use than in later years, and the repairs tend to increase with the age of the asset.
b. An accelerated depreciation method reduces income tax payable to the IRS in the earlier
periods of an asset’s life. Thus, cash is freed up in the earlier periods to be used for other
business purposes.
c. MACRS was enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. It is used for depreciation for
fixed assets acquired after 1986.
9. a. No, the accumulated depreciation for an asset cannot exceed the cost of the asset. To do so
would create a negative book value, which is meaningless.
b. The cost and accumulated depreciation should be removed from the accounts when the
asset is no longer useful and is removed from service. Presumably, the asset will then be
sold, traded in, or discarded.
10. a. Over the shorter of its legal life or years of usefulness.
b. Expense as incurred.
c. Goodwill should not be amortized, but written down when impaired.
