Bills Lawn Care Module 5 Mini Practice Problem
In June, Bill made several purchases to accommodate his growing
business.
June 2 Bill purchased a storage location for lawn care equipment, paid
$45,000 for a building on 1 acre. The land is appraised at $8,000. The
building has an estimated life of 10 years with a $5,000 salvage value. Bill
paid $2,000 down and financed the remaining purchase price with a 5% 5
year note.
June 4 Bill purchased a trailer to haul lawn care equipment for $2,300;
estimated life is 5 years with no salvage value. Bill paid for the purchase in
cash.
June 5 Bill purchased a gas powered trimmer for $1,200 and a commercial
leaf-blower for $1,500. Bill estimates they will each have a two year life
and no salvage value. Bill paid for both of these pieces of equipment on
account.
These are in addition to the three assets Bill acquired in May:
Date Item Cost Estimated Life Salvage Value
May 2 Truck $7,000 5 years $500
5 Lawn Mower $300 2 years $0
5 Aerator $500 2 years $0
Depreciation was recorded in May for these assets using the straight-line
method however Bill is considering other depreciation methods and has
asked you to prepare a comparison of the straight-line method with the
double declining balance (200% DDB) method before he decides.
Instructions:
1. Using the chart of accounts provided below and the Excel template
provided with this assignment, record the transactions for the new assets
purchased in June, 2014. Start with Page 7 for the journal
entries. Explanations are optional.
2. Prepare a monthly schedule of depreciation for each of the seven
assets for 2014 using 1) straight-line and 2) 200% DDB. (Assume assets
purchased before the 15th of the month will be depreciated as if owned for
the entire month). Remember that you are calculating monthly
depreciation, not annual and adjust your depreciation rate. Carry your
depreciation rate to four decimals and round the depreciation expense to
two decimals.
3. Bill has decided that equipment will be depreciated using straight-line
and the building using 200% DDB. Prepare the adjusting journal entries for
depreciation for the month of June, 2014. Start with Page 8 for the
adjusting journal entries. Explanations are optional.
