Explanation / Answer
1-a. Prepare a table to allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased.
1-b. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase.
2. Compute the depreciation expense for year 2017 on the building using the straight-line method, assuming a 15-year life and a $28,000 salvage value
Depreciation = (390100-28000)/15 = 24140
3. Compute the depreciation expense for year 2017 on the land improvements assuming a five-year life and double-declining-balance depreciation.
Straight line dep rate = 100/5=20%
Double decline rate = 20%*2=40%
Depreciation expenses = 49800*40% = 19920
