$ 500,000 Problem #4 - Depreciation calculations
A high-speed multiple-bit diamond drill press costing $1,300,000 has an estimated salvage value of $100,000 and a
life of ten years. This asset was purchased on November 1st, 2017. Lifetime output is estimated at 200,000 units;
the press produced 25,000 units in year one and 20,000 in year two. What is the annual depreciation for each of
the first two years under the following depreciation methods? (Show all calculations.) Method:

Rock and Roll Company purchased a rock quarry for $10,000,000 estimated to contain 2 million tons of commercial
rock material. When the quarry is completely depleted, it was expected that the land would be worth $100,000. A
building was constructed on the site for $250,000, which will have no salvage value when the quarry is depleted.
During the Year 1, 800,000 tons of material is removed, and $350,000 was spent for labor and other operating costs.
You will need to determine a reasonable manner for allocating depreciation on the building. Then, do your best to
analyze and document the cost of ore per ton for the first year of operations. Show all supporting calculations. Directions: calculate depletion expense, depreciation expense and the cost per ton of ore mined for Year 1 Year 1

### ### ### Valentine and Waxman agree to an appraisal, which indicates that the fair value of the inventory is $270,000 and
the fair value of the plant assets is $1625,000. The fair value of all receivable and payable accounts is equal to the
amounts reported on the balance sheet. The agreed purchase price was $3,500,000 set for 7/1/2017, and this
amount is paid in cash to the previous owners of Waxman Company. Part 1 Directions: Prepare the journal entry by Valentine to record the purchase of Waxman including the
determination of the amount of goodwill (if any) implied in the purchase price of $3,500,000. Date Description Debit Credit Part 2 Directions: Answer the following questions about Goodwill: (1) Under what circumstances is it appropriate
to record goodwill? (2) Is Goodwill amortized? (3) Can Goodwill be impaired? Problem #7 - Patent case
Background: In early January 2017, Power Source Corporation applied for a patent, incurring legal costs of $80,000. The
estimated usefulness of the patent is ten years.
In January 2019, Power Source incurred an additional $12,000 in legal fees for a successful defense of its patent.
At the beginning of 2020, based on new market research, Power Sources determines that the fair value of the patent is
$50,000. Record the impairment in 2020. No other developments occur and the patent is in use through its remaining life.
Directions: Compute amortization expense and carrying balance of the patent at the end of the year for all years of the life of
the Patent from 2017 through 2026 including t-account analysis for the Patent account. PATENT YEAR 2017
