Problem 9-2A (Part Level Submission)
In recent years, Freeman Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized below.

For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 120,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were: 2013, 24,000; 2014, 36,000; and 2015, 31,000.
Problem 9-3A (Part Level Submission)
On January 1, 2014, Thao Company purchased the following two machines for use in its production process.
Machine A: |
 |
The cash price of this machine was $35,000. Related expenditures included: sales tax $1,700, shipping costs $150, insurance during shipping $80, installation and testing costs $70, and $100 of oil and lubricants to be used with the machinery during its first year of operations. Thao estimates that the useful life of the machine is 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. Assume that the straight-line method of depreciation is used. |
Machine B: |
 |
The recorded cost of this machine was $80,000. Thao estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a $5,000 salvage value remaining at the end of that time period. |

Problem 9-4A
|
|
|
Your answer is correct. |
 |
 |
At the beginning of 2012, Mansen Company acquired equipment costing $80,000. It was estimated that this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a residual value of $8,000 at that time. The straight-line method of depreciation was considered the most appropriate to use with this type of equipment. Depreciation is to be recorded at the end of each year.
During 2014 (the third year of the equipment’s life), the company’s engineers reconsidered their expectations, and estimated that the equipment’s useful life would probably be 7 years (in total) instead of 6 years. The estimated residual value was not changed at that time. However, during 2017 the estimated residual value was reduced to $4,400.
Indicate how much depreciation expense should be recorded each year for this equipment, by completing the following table. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $2,125.)

Problem 9-7A (Part Level Submission)
The intangible assets section of Glover Company at December 31, 2013, is presented below.
Patents ($60,000Â cost less $6,000Â amortization) |
 |
$54,000 |
Franchises ($48,000Â cost less $19,200Â amortization) |
 |
28,800 |
    Total |
 |
$82,800 |
The patent was acquired in January 2013 and has a useful life of 10 years. The franchise was acquired in January 2010 and also has a useful life of 10 years. The following cash transactions may have affected intangible assets during 2014.
Jan. 2 |
 |
Paid $36,000Â legal costs to successfully defend the patent against infringement by another company. |
Jan.–June |
 |
Developed a new product, incurring $140,000Â in research and development costs. A patent was granted for the product on July 1. Its useful life is equal to its legal life. |
Sept. 1 |
 |
Paid $58,000 to an extremely large defensive lineman to appear in commercials advertising the company’s products. The commercials will air in September and October. |
Oct. 1 |
 |

Problem 9-8A
|
|
|
Your answer is correct. |
 |
 |
Due to rapid turnover in the accounting department, a number of transactions involving intangible assets were improperly recorded by the Buek Company in 2014.
1. |
 |
Buek developed a new manufacturing process, incurring research and development costs of $147,000. The company also purchased a patent for $60,000. In early January, Buek capitalized $207,000 as the cost of the patents. Patent amortization expense of $10,350 was recorded based on a 20-year useful life. |
2. |
 |
On July 1, 2014, Buek purchased a small company and as a result acquired goodwill of $80,000. Buek recorded a half-year’s amortization in 2014, based on a 50-year life ($800 amortization). The goodwill has an indefinite life. |
Prepare all journal entries necessary to correct any errors made during 2014. Assume the books have not yet been closed for 2014. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
