In 2007, Redford Company paid $1,000,000 to purchase land containing a total

estimated 160,000 tons of extractable mineral deposits. The estimated value of the
property after the mineral has been removed is $200,000. Extraction activities began in
2008, and by the end of the year, 20,000 tons had been recovered and sold. In 2009,
geological studies indicated that the total amount of mineral deposits had been
underestimated by 25,000 tons. During 2009, 30,000 tons were extracted, and 28,000 tons
were sold. What is the depletion rate per ton (rounded to the nearest cent) in 2009?
A. $4.24 C. $4.85
B. $4.32 D. $5.19

2. When a company replaces an old asphalt roof on its plant with a new fiberglass

3. Post Company’s depreciation policy on machinery and equipment is as follows:

• A full year’s depreciation is taken in the year of an asset’s acquisition.
• No depreciation is taken in the year of an asset’s disposition.
• The estimated useful life is five years.
• The straight-line method is used.

On June 30, 2007, Post sold for $230,000 a machine acquired in 2004 for $420,000. The
accumulated depreciation for this machine was $216,000 at December 31, 2006, and the
original estimated salvage value was $60,000. How much gain or (loss) on the disposal
should Post record in 2007?
A. A $14,000 gain C. A $26,000 loss
B. A $26,000 gain D. A $34,000 loss

Book Value of the machine at Dec 31, 2007 = $420,000 - $216,000

= $204,000

Gain on Disposal = $230,000 - $204,000

= $26,000

4. Nimbus Inc., purchased certain plant assets under a deferred payment contract. The
agreement was to pay $30,000 per year for 10 years. The plant assets should be valued at

C. present value of $30,000 annuity for 10 years at an imputed interest rate.
D. future value of $30,000 annuity for 10 years at an imputed interest rate.

5. On February 12, Laker Company purchased a tract of land as a factory site for
$175,000.
An existing building on the property was razed and construction was begun on a new
factory building in March of the same year. Additional data are available as follows:

Cost of razing old building $ 35,000

Title insurance and legal fees to purchase land 12,500
Architect’s fees 42,500
New building construction cost 875,000

The recorded cost of the completed factory building should be

A. $910,000. C. $930,000.
B. $917,500. D. $952,500.

= $875,000 + $42,500

= $917,500

6. Andrews Manufacturing Company purchased a new machine on July 1, 2007. It was

expected to produce 200,000 units of product over its estimated useful life of eight years.
Total cost of the machine was $600,000, and salvage value was estimated to be $60,000.
Actual units produced by the machine in 2007 and 2008 are shown below.

2002 16,000 units

2003 30,000 units

Andrews reports on a calendar-year basis and uses the productive-output method of

depreciation. The amount of depreciation expense for this machine in 2008 would be
A. $124,200. C. $81,000.
B. $90,000. D. $74,520.

Depreciation Expense =

(Cost of Machine - Salvage Value)

 Actual Number of Units Produced
Expected Units Produced

($600, 000  $60, 000)

=  30, 000
200, 000

= $81,000
7. Hendricks Construction purchased a crane on January 1, 2007, for $102,750. At the
time of purchase, the crane was estimated to have a life of six years and a residual value
of $6,750. In 2009, Hendricks determined that the crane had a total useful life of seven
years and a residual value of $4,500. If Hendricks uses the straight-line method of
depreciation, what will be the depreciation expense for the crane in 2009?
A. $16,000 C. $9,464
B. $13,250 D. $8,000

Original Annual Depreciation = ($102,750 - $6,750) / 6 = $16,000

That would be the annual depreciation for 2007, & 2008. Therefore at the
beginning of 2009, the accumulated depreciation = $32,000

The Book Value = $102,750 - $32,000

= $70,750

In 2009 the depreciable cost = ($70,750 - $4,500) / 5 years

= $13,250

8. On June 30, 2007, Hi-Tech Inc. purchased for cash at $50 per share all 150,000 shares
of outstanding common stock of Skicraft Company. Skicraft’s balance sheet at June 30,
2007, showed net assets with a book value of $6,000,000. The fair value of Skicraft’s
property, plant, and equipment on June 30, 2007, was $800,000 in excess of its book
value. What amount, if any, will Hi-Tech record as goodwill on the date of purchase?
A. $0 C. $800,000
B. $700,000 D. $1,500,000

Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair Market Value of the Asset

Purchase Price = $50 x 150,000 = $7,500,000
FMV of Asset = $6,000,000 (book value) + $800,000 (excess in book value) =
$6,800,000
Goodwill = $7,500,000 - $6,800,00 = $700,000

9. Peyton Company started construction of a new office building on January 1, 2007, and
moved into the finished building on July 1, 2008. Of the building’s $5,000,000 total cost,
$4,000,000 was incurred in 2007 evenly throughout the year. Peyton’s incremental
borrowing rate was 12 percent throughout 2007, and the total amount of interest incurred
by Peyton during 2007 was $204,000. What amount should Peyton report as capitalized
interest at December 31, 2007?
A. $480,000 C. $240,000
B. $300,000 D. $204,000
Interest to be capitalized = incremental interest or actual interest incurred
(whichever is lower)
Incremental Interest = $4,000,000 x 0.12 = $480,000
Interest Incurred = $204,000

depreciation?

should decline.

money.
