Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $175,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $20,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use. Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $19,500 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2

Answer:

Part 1

D.E = $5,300

Part 2

a. Book Value = $61,900

b. Book Value = $122,500

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings

Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price

Calculation of the Cost of Building

Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%)   $52,500

Building Renovations                      $20,000

Total                                                  $72,500

Step 2 : Depreciation calculation

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life

                                      = ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10

                                      = $5,300

After Year 2

Buildings :

Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600

Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900

Land

Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500

Note : Land is not depreciated
